Garter Snake
One of the most commonly known snakes in Canada is the garter snake. They can be found anywhere in Canada and central United States and come in quite a few different colors and markings. Garter snakes are usually about 60 to 80 cm (23-30 inches) long, but they have been known to grow up to 135 cm.
Because Garter snakes live in colder temperatures they need to hibernate in winter. They will find shelter in cracks in the ground where the frost doesn’t reach. If you go searching for them you won’t find just one…there could be hundreds! Some snakes will travel as far as 32 km or 20 miles to reach their winter den in Manitoba, Canada. It is one
of the largest
‘Garter’ gatherings in the world!
