Found this Garter Snake in one of my flowers beds this morning. From the look of the lump in the middle it is clearly digesting its last meal. It was moving quite slowly as is normal when digesting. I just hope that meal was a pesky vole and not a toad! This one was about 2.5 feet long so fully grown. Also the eyes were cloudy which means it will soon shed its skin.
I love to see these in the yard as they are natures pest control! I had one as a pet when I was a kid.
