I'm so proud of my mom, I had to post this.... She was working in the yard today and saw a little garter snake, and DIDN'T kill it....

This is the same woman who just a few short years ago trashed the blade on the riding lawn mower chasing a black racer and smashed a rock instead, so I'm very happy my insistance that she stop killing snakes is getting through....

Just thought everyone would like to know it is possible to reverse the "anti-snake" mindset, even if it is slowly....

We'll turn people 1 by 1. Thank your mom! Derek

Yeah, way to go! Spread the knowledge. One person @ a time.

Mom informed me, after I posted the first message, that my lectures are rubbing off on her boyfriend too... He decided to just "shoo" a garter out of the yard and into the woods... I'm so happy that my constant lectures about leaving wildlife in peace are finally rubbing off on someone....
