Snake on the washer

Last Updated on January 10, 2020 by Christopher G Mendla

This is from 2013..  I was doing some wash and went to change the water level. As I did so, I noticed this little critter on my washer. It was a harmless garter snake but, even so, I had some extra wash to do after seeing him.

I was able to grab him and let him out in the yard where he could chase bugs and such instead of socks.

And yes, the slithery sneak decided to play on my washer after I had been working in the basement and before I wiped the washer down.. No Martha Stewart badge for me..

Garter Snakes are ‘generally harmless’ . They eat insects and small amphibians.

Garter snakes were long thought to be nonvenomous, but discoveries in the early 2000s revealed they do, in fact, produce a neurotoxic venom.[9] Despite this, garter snakes cannot seriously injure or kill humans with the small amounts of comparatively mild venom they produce, and they also lack an effective means of delivering it
