A small Garter Snake on her probably first, very slow way to a sunny spot, snaking around patches of snow.

@canyakker wow, a long one. Looks a bit thick in the middle too – wonder if garter snakes are pregnant this time of year?

[canyakker@mas.to]

@ottaross Supposedly, the young ones in Canada are born between July and September.

@canyakker oh interesting. So she's just carrying some winter weight I guess

@canyakker That's the kind I have, the Lined Snake or Dwarf Garter snake. I have two babies, about 4 and 5 inches long. Adults are only about a foot, such cute little babies

@canyakker super cute camo noodle!
