Reptiles

Common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis)

The above color variety sometimes called red-spotted garter snake

The one below is much less colorful. Two of these were trying to hide in the veggie garden, hopefully eating slugs.

This one was stretched out sunning itself on a woodland path and did not move when I stepped over it.

This juvenile missing part of its tail had fallen (or been dropped) into a bucket
