Slithering? That what Senator McConnell does. I digress again. I had a garter snake nest in my spillway drain . The female was massive & on a warm day she went slithering across the prairie with a mass of at least 100 smaller boy snakes in pursuit. Go girl go!
snakes like to hide in branches and roots by the water
Do you know that male snakes have something called a HEMIPENIS? It's a thick structure which is bifurcated...two functioning ''heads'' which makes it possible to breed two females simultaneously!
(Another fun fact to introduce in selected zoo encounters.)
