A Garter Snake is a cold blooded reptile. It's medium sized about 23.6 in. It can have different color stripes like white, green, turquoise, and others. Since it lives in the western part of the Cascade Mountains in the area of Lassen Peak it eats what's around there like, frogs, toads, slugs, leeches, insects, spiders, and also small rodents. Bullfrogs, hawks such as kestrels, and harriers, also bears, raccoons, and skunks, depend on a Garter Snake as food. Garter snakes have special glands in their mouth close where their venom glands would be. These glands act as a poison to predators. But it is actually not poisonous, but the garter snake wants predators to think it is poisonous though. Garter snakes like shedding their skin when they start growing. Most Garter Snakes go up north to Manitoba, Canada to their winter den.
