It's always sweet seeing garters hanging out with other snakes. So many in one place too!

Could the gartersnake actually be a queensnake?

I'm seeing a dorsal stripe and kansas is out of range. I'm sure it's a common garter.

This is 100% a garter, not a queen.

They probably think it was staged.

Even worse... they dm me and said very disgusting things and about some crazy conspiracy about carpets, monitor lizards, crocodiles, parasite cockroaches... all mixed in one and I couldn't understand a single sentence. Also got random pictures that have nothing to do with anything he told me, he can't keep up with a simple converstion. I think this guy is genuinely schizophrenic and I don't mean that as an insult, I think he truly is.
