This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Thanks, I hate it

I mean yeah it's a giant snake ball but the worst thing a garter can do to you is stink on you as a means of self defense 😄 They're tiny and goofy and among the few potential pet snakes that can be kept without being fed vertebrates.

I had one draw blood this spring! Granted, it was barely anything, but it still blew my mind it was capable of doing that.

Jeez how did it happen? Must have felt trapped or something

Picked it up like I usually do. This one was particularly feisty, striking at everything. Got me just right I guess.
