I would be startled too. I think I have not seen 2 small garter snakes in the last 20 years.

Well, as long as its placid and eats small destructive animals (excluding birds) I suppose that makes it a good animal neighbor.

Haha - you wouldn’t like our place. Since it warmed up / in the last 5 weeks I’ve seen 5 snakes on our property. 6, if you count that I’ve seen the big (for a garter snake) twice. That is NOT counting my daughter’s pet corn snake, which is about 4’ long now.
