Seen on our front porch this afternoon. When the snake saw the cat it froze. I moved it around a bit with my hand and it would not move a muscle until I pushed it into the pachysandra. As soon as it sensed the safety of the plants it slithered off.
Garter snakes are good to have around. They prey on grubs and the like and are harmless to humans. This critter was about a foot and a half ( 45cm ) long.
