    My kid used to love going for walks in the woods with me.

    One day we came across one of these mating balls, and they had never seen a garter snake before. Despite my assurances that these are literally one of the most harmless things you can find in the woods, my kid has never willingly accompanied me for hikes since.

      Garter snakes are harmless, they run from you and don’t bite.

        Even if they did bite it would still be harmless, tiny teeth, low bite force, no venom, would hardly hurt if it managed to hurt at all.
