It's actually a long told myth that they eat bugs! They do however enjoy earthworms, toads, frogs and fish!Garter Snake. They eat crickets, grasshoppers, june bugs and such. My guinea hens killed and ate one last year.
I wanna know what garter snakes you've met! Up north they're so docile you can handle them as long as you want with no bites. I think I've only been bitten once by a garter in my whole life. They do musk heavily but are very hesitant to bite. Now black rat snakes on the other hand...I got bit 10-12 times on one arm from one of those guys!Garter snake. When they get big they can be aggressive and readily strike out at you or the chickens (Poofball got attacked by one once, no injury or wound though, it just struck at her and she jumped in the air). I don't really like handling them for this reason when they are large. But even at their largest size they are small and harmless to hens and people, just wash the bite and your good to go. Good snake to keep around for the garden!
Rats sure are pissy. They're the king of bad attitudes next to water snakes. I remember stopping to move one out of the road once. You'd think I was trying to kill the poor hateful guy with how crabby he was. Calm down. Breathe. I'm saving your ungrateful life.I wanna know what garter snakes you've met!

The eastern garter snake! If you step by them or hover your foot near them they strike at your boot repeatedly and don't get tired of it here. The ribbon snakes are less trigger-happy.I wanna know what garter snakes you've met! Up north they're so docile you can handle them as long as you want with no bites.
