    I mean yeah it’s a giant snake ball but the worst thing a garter can do to you is stink on you as a means of self defense 😄 They’re tiny and goofy and among the few potential pet snakes that can be kept without being fed vertebrates.

      Their saliva is mildly toxic so if you’re unlucky enough to be allergic you could get an annoying rash from a bite.

      Well garden spiders also don’t pose any harm, but I don’t fancy getting into a giant ball of them

      I had one draw blood this spring! Granted, it was barely anything, but it still blew my mind it was capable of doing that.
