Spotted this garter snake in the thermal spring water, even the many mild days we had this winter are not enough for snakes to be in the open. So for the few that are spotted over the winter, is thanks to the heat provided by the thermal water. Unlike us, where we get our heat from the processes occurring inside our body. The snakes like other reptiles get it from the outside, in this case from the near thirty degree celsius temperature of the water.
Until next moment,
