Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 26 Jan 2016
On January 25, 2016 at Jackson Bottom Wetland Preserve, resident Garter snakes left their hibernaculum (place of winter rest) to warm up by absorbing the sun's heat. This video shows Garter snakes in a mating group, also called a breeding ball or mating ball. Look for individual or groups of snakes in sunny areas along trails and along slopes.
