When I moved from the city to a house near farmland, I found a partial snakeskin in my veggie garden but didn't know it at the time. Shortly after, my mom (born and raised in a very large city) came across a garter snake in the process of swallowing a large slug. Her shocked/repulsed/fascinated reaction was hilarious! One of the best pictures I ever took was of a black and yellow-striped granddaddy garter snake sunning itself on top of my blue hydrangea blooms. Just beautiful. Sadly, I haven't seen the snakes in my yard in a couple years.
