My parents gave me a snake-themed calendar for christmas and the picture for January looks like a garter snake but is captioned "garden snake". Does it mean the same thing?
"Garden snake" is a very common misspelling of garter snake! A lot of people mishear the name, and in some areas they're called garden snakes colloquially.
There are some snakes that are actually called garden snakes - like the absolutely adorable Puerto Rican garden snake - but the snake on our calender is almost certainly a garter snake!

Are there any garter snake experts here on Tumblr?
We have a couple of MASSIVE garter snakes in our yard. Biggest I've ever seen. I love having them, however, they find the top of the compost pile (right under the tarp) to be a prime location. We have to chase them away when we want to turn the compost.
Today there was a huge one curled up on top of a slightly smaller one. The smaller one was duller in color and had blue eyes so I'm assuming it's time to shed.
Was the big guy protecting the little guy? Do mates stay together for a bit? Or were they just curled up for warmth?
Anyway. Snakes are cool. Would love to learn more about garter snakes.

Knock knock.
This is my only social media platform right now. I deleted instagram, threads, Facebook + tik tok. I’m focusing on myself for the next 30 days. The best part? No one knows about this tumblr platform. Im using it as a social diary to mark my journey to freedom from bad people + substances. Which will in turn lead to success. I feel it wholeheartedly. Whoever’s reading this, I love you. Whether you support me or not. I love you. Im healing. Please be careful, there’s snakes in the grass.
