Fabulous pix!
Some of those guys must have been really hard to spot...the other day I spotted a garter snake in some early brush...I picked it up to look at it...then set it back down....and realized I had completely missed a second garter lying right beside it....and later on that day I found another garter under the stairs to my deck...whoohooo....that was a good day....not as good as yours though...Dekay's Brown Snake is a new one for me...so thanks for that!
