common garter snake at Cardinal Marsh IA 854A4880
Notice how dark this garter snake's scales are. We've been about fifteen degrees below normal for the past several days and being cold-blooded, snakes darken up their skin so they're able to absorb more heat if they can find some sunshine to soak up.
