The garter snake that was found at my house is being re-released into a den where it's got a great chance of surviving. The snake pictured above was caught INSIDE our building, looking for a place to hole up for the winter - and honestly, like Stephanie said, it's not exactly warm enough for it to have a great chance of just "being let go" and finding a warm place to ride out our soon-to-be-cold northern Illinois winter. We've got an employee that will take care of it over the winter, and re-release next spring. All will be right in the ecosystem
