 Catching a garter snake
I’m planning on catching one my self when the time comes. I’ve seen them before in my yard. They like to hide under warm places like piled rocks. I found one once under my dog’s house. I have also seen them go under my house along with some gopher snakes. I’ am not sure how to catch one, but I know if I don’t want to get bit I should wear thick gloves.

well im gonna assume you live in canada or northern US, and so you cant catch them this time of year. they start coming out of their dens around may and your best chance at finding some would be june - september.
as for catching one; their isn’t really much skill involved you just have to be carful not to hurt them as they tend to be fragile snakes. They also probably aren’t going to bite you, i spent my childhood catching garter snakes and i have never seen one even try to bite me or anyone.

i catch em’ all the time, but now they are all hybernating. good way to catch em’ is to make no sudden movements, and slowly try to get behind it, but they may feel your vibrations when you walk and get away, but it’s really not thay hard, though they may poo on you, musk you, and possibly bite. it’s not bad though. i’m used to it, even though i’ve never had any of those things happen to me b4! been catching em’ since i was like three!

I’ve had a baby garter for almost a month and it bites me every time I take it out of it’s cage. All snakes bite.

Okay, I live in Northeast Indiana and Saturday and Yesterday I have seen garter snakes in the woods and it has been in the 60’s for the last few days. They are out on warm days, I usually look in the woods and under bark, or anything flat on the ground. I usually walk hiking trails and you will see them slither away. Don’t be afraid of them biting you..it hurts for a second or two but nothing painful. Look in semi tall grassy areas too.

I see your in Utah so you will need to make sure it is a garter snake and not something poisonous that you are trying to grab.

i’m from utah as well and the good news in utah is that if it doesn’t have a rattle it’s not venemous. there are no cottonmouths copperheads or coral snakes in utah.

We have a few poisonous snakes here in Indiana but they are rare or hard to find and many of them are in Southern Indiana. Timber Rattler, Massasauga, I believe we even have copperheads but could be wrong.

Garter snakes usually don’t bite. They’re not out at the hottest part of the day, more in the evening. They live in brush-piles, in rocks, and under logs. If you find one, approach it slowly.
