Crimeny, they do so much good! Maybe every once in a while, one might get a hen's egg. Other than that, they are tremendously beneficial critters. Last edited by Dave Schmidt; 09/16/12 02:34 PM.

These snakes come from central Saskatchewan, Canada. They are a heavy bodied garter snake found in large numbers in some areas. Photo Credit Dave Salys his web site http://billings.snakeremoval.us/ You can trap them using glue boards. Dave Salys and 330 Trapper should be able to help you with specifics. We don't have any northern snakes down here in FLA. They will be in hibernation by the end of Oct. I have a related podcast Sep 8, 2010 Snake Removal Services with Animal Planet's Jason Clark. I also have alot topic related discussions in our public domain archives and you are welcome to see what others wrote regarding snake removal http://thewildlifepro.net/forum/topics/snake-removal-services?id=1998073%3ATopic%3A54270 Find Our Podcasts @ http://www.thewildlifepro.net

Check out this link and links within it- http://www.naturenorth.com/spring/creature/garter/snake1.htm A couple youtube videos- http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=xSO4ooNN_MY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNVNipoEUrY As was already said, they are harmless.

When they are small they eat pinkies. When they are bigger, they eat the adult mice and an occasional rat. Killing good snakes is like firing your best farm hand just for being ugly.

I know of some farmers who couldn't get them out of their house, so they abandoned the houses. But this fella has them all over his yard. I'm not worried about it, just thought I'd ask the experts. Thanks again
