I just rescued a garter snake.
This time, I was quite sure it was a garter snake...
One of my coworkers was outside smoking a cigarette and stepped on it. Knowing that I like all things living (including snakes), she told me and said she thought she'd hurt it.
So, I went out looking for it. I didn't see it at first, but then it started moving and I found it. It had a little spot on it's body that looked like it might have been damaged, but was moving around okay. Unfortunately, he was very near a street, and I was afraid he'd get hurt worse if I left him there. So I scooped him up and deposited him near a rock and some vegetation that was in a safer spot.
He immediately wriggled under the rock. I hope he's okay.
