We had a little visit from one of the Garter Snakes who got him self a mid day snack. I have a 4500 gallon water garden (fancy name for a pond...lol) and our annual highlight is all the Frogs, toads and tree frogs that are hatched in the pond. So we're in no short supply of reptiles. This isn't for the squeamish. The Garter Snake captured a common toad and just as it was finishing up it's meal, my Mother came up the walk from the garage. She HATES Snakes, so she wanted me to lop its head off. you can hear a little of the conversation, but she said, "lets take a vote!!" Only she and my oldest Daughter voted to kill the snake. Shae (my youngest) and Kyle(future son in law) and I didn't raise our hands, so the snake was spared. I can't say the fate of the toad was as forgiving.
