This is very helpful. We just moved to the country so it's all a new experience for us. When I moved the garter snake down the road, I wondered if it had laid eggs under the porch (do they lay eggs or are they born live?). This was about a month ago. For a garter snake, it was really good size! This little guy we found was tiny - so at first I thought it was a baby of the snake we moved. Maybe this isnt' the right forum to ask this, but is there a way to keep them from under our porch without killing them? There isnt' a way right now to keep them from going under, as there are slats in the porch that they slip through. Thank you all so much for the advice. ~Kari
