it's a garter snake


it is pretty exciting to have a repeat visitor such as a garter snake.  i was taking some things to the compost pile that april made for us and i saw the garter snake that i saw a few weeks ago basking in the sun.  It is very exciting.  i used to see snakes and great reptiles almost daily growing up in rural PA.  the days are few and far between that i see something other then a pigeon, a gofer, a squirrel or a robin.  don't get me wrong i appreciate examining them and thinking about there daily routines.  it is just that i enjoy seeing the snakes and turtles and chuckwallas!  i am guessing that the garter snake has a great food supply around the compost.  there are tons of spiders and slugs and other creepy crawlers processing vegetable remains.  he has definitely gotten bigger in the last several weeks.  i hope that he sticks around.
