I stumbled upon this garter snake in my flower garden last spring. Garter snakes are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats. They are commonly found in meadows, woodlands, marshes, and near bodies of water such as ponds, streams, and lakes. These snakes prefer environments with ample cover, such as tall grass, logs, and rocks, which provide protection from predators and opportunities for hunting. Garter snakes are also known to inhabit suburban areas, where they can be found in gardens and yards. Their ability to live in diverse habitats makes them one of the most widespread snake species in North America. Cheers
