Garter Snake

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.

Garter Snake

The warm weather brings many things, including the garter snakes. This small adult was basking under the sun before venturing out for food. Its milky blue eyes mean it will be shedding its skin soon. I grabbed a quick picture before walking past it.
