Aggressive Garter Snake

[ClassicRockfan79]

I may be wrong but are you sure thats a garter? I live in VA, and seen lots of them, but never one that looks like that, all the ones ive seen are black and yellow, a lot more slim and long

Why didn't you just leave it alone , He's not there for your friggen pleasure

[assasinscreed78]

thats not a garter snake, garter snakes dont puff up like that

[TJsHerps]

SNAKES ARE VENOMOUS NOT POISONOUS. GAH! I hate that!!!

[Boowee1515]

ive seen garters up around 4 feet lond and well overan inch thick many times hear in canada.

[IRAMURDOG]

haha i would flick it back to show ur not afriad they will normal stop after that and i dont mean flick it so hard u give it brain damage..i mean who wants a retarded snake for a pet

[MRoSCONEZ]

well they r like fish but u can hold them they dont require much care

[Russelltomper]

i live in manitoba where we got piles of garter snakes and i have not ever seen a very aggressive one even after pickin them up and carryin them around.... i dont know why all these garter snake stories say they are aggressive

[EthanIsTehSt00fxD]

i live in kansas, and my dad found one in the yard while mowing yesterday, and i have it in a cage, and its very agressive. not sure what to feed it and what might help it like me and not strike me. so message me if you have any help.

[vaffonculo]

You are going to have to feed it live mice. I can't see a wild animal eating frozen(dead) mice. Go to the pet store get a reptile lamp, water dish, something for him to hide in/under. If he doesn't eat for more than a week let him go.

[665Rogue]

If it doesn't eat within three days, let it go and they are aggressive because they don't know humans gets one from young and handle it well and it will be fine.

[IRAMURDOG]

feed it lizards or even possiably pinky mice..it will out grow the striking part they dont have fangs so they dont hurt when they bite down might freak u out at first but dont sweat it

[enterthafatass]

agressive? id bite the people poking and grabbing me too!

[jaextc]

Why are you jumping its just a garter snake. lol

[888rats]

That's what you call a *defensive* garter snake. Notice his first reaction is to try and escape.

[GhostTamerz]

thats odd,garter snakes are really that big?

[joesmoe71]

Snake: "I KEEEEEEEEEELL YOU!"

[soulstodeny05]

Definitely sounds like Mr. McGranahan. I took environmental science at Valley which he taught, and it was a fantastic class.

[cnoevol]

Great Vid!!! I found one in my yard when i was pulling weeds and the way it acted and portrayed itself i didnt think it was a garter was sure it was poisonous. Thanx ur video addressed my exact suspecions about its head and making itself look bigger

[eddiemiles1920]

Caught one 2 days ago more aggersive then this one.. and around the same size.. good size and all

[chrism07924]

According to its Wiki page, it actually is "mildly poisonous", but not enough to effect a human being. It has a mild nuerotoxin but lacks the injection mechanism used by truly poisonous snakes.

[RockChalk2009]

I caught one of those mowing today at work and it was really really non agressive.i just reached down and picked it up behind the head and it didtn struggle or anything...pretty cool creatures.

[AnnaEDixon17]

i had him last year for envrionmental, i recgonzied his voice

[monumentfloyd]

thats odd. garter snakes are usually tame.

[SimpleYetEffective]

Is he the same snake-loving Mr. McGranaghan that used to teach at Douglass in leesburg? If so,he used to be my teacher,and he was THE SHIT!!! "Teach Mc-G"

[anonymousjanitor88]

Possibly, but I'm not sure. Your call.

[SimpleYetEffective]

It has to be him...Do me a favor,and ask him for me. If he is,I'd love to come by and visit him sometime.
