The kids had their first close-up encounter with a garter snake, today.
I caught it first. It was really mellow about being held for the most
part. We put it in a 5 gallon bucket, but it could easily climb out.
Avery didn't want to touch it "'cause it's slimy". I couldn't change
her mind. Ethan, however, overcame his initial fear that it might bite
and learned to hold it. I just love snakes because they are so
different from furry little legged mammals. It visited for about 30
minutes I think before we set it down and watched it slither away. Nahni
was asleep for that whole time.
