We only have cute snakes in Nova Scotia - probably the same ones as in Maine. We have garter snakes (I have a big fat old one living in a rockpile here), Ring snakes (incredibly cute little things with red collars) and green snakes. Green snakes are my favourite. They are small, delicate and the most brilliant grass green you can imagine. They like to curl up and sun themselves on old stumps. My favourite thing about garter snakes is that they eat slugs.
