Habitat-I found this garter snake in our backyard in some plants. They can also be found in places that range form marshes to prairies. There are also commonly found near water. Species-This species is a part of class Reptilia. The bite of a garter snake is venomous but not strong enough to kill a person. Like most snakes they are carnivorous. There diet consists of anything that they are capable of overpowering. Garter snakes often adapt to eating whatever they can find because there normal diet can become scarce or abundant.
