He looks like he has a couple of lumps in him from his last meals.

Better than a couple holes, which is what he'd have in him if he was here :biggrin:

So Jim, I need a little further explanation. Would you use a large caliber handgun, a rifle, shotgun, pellet pistol (fired multiple times). or a pitch fork to watch it wiggle as it died? Asking for a friend (not a friend of the snake).

Mildly Venomous (Not Dangerous): Garter snakes possess a mild neurotoxin in their saliva, which they use to subdue small prey like frogs or slugs. They lack traditional fangs, but their rear teeth can work a small amount of this saliva into a bite if they are allowed to chew on you for several minutes. This is completely harmless to humans, though prolonged bites can cause very mild swelling or localized itching in rare cases.

Population and management

Garter snakes are important because they eat destructive rodents (mice) and should not be killed.
