Common Garter Snakes have come out of their winter hideaways!

I do love snakes. And, garter snakes are one of my favorite species in Maine. 

They have lots of places to hibernate in over the winter such as rock crevices, holes, rotten wood, and even house foundations. This one is soaking up warmth from the rock that has been baking in the sunshine.

Did you know that their diet consists of 80% earthworms? Cool!
