Default Glenmore Reservoir....snakes!!!!

Good day!


I fished the venue today, on the side of the hospital, for a short time and noticed quite a few small snakes around the pathway which next to the water.
No clue what kind they are.

Just thought you should know.

Breeding time for Garter's, They enjoy those warm rocks, very cool sighting. Get any pictures?

No such thing as dangerous snaes here, ya gardenar snakes, give you alittle hint on snakes
1-if the eys are round- good snakes
2-if the eyes are oval- bad snakes and stay away
even pet snakes will rattle the tail if they are in ****y mood and may bite but still harmless.
please do not kill the snakes as they eat mise,rats, and other snakes at times and are no danger to use.........

I saw 3 different snakes in the span of 2 hours today when I was down at the river. 2 Bull and 1 unknown (too far away).

Snakes creep me out.
