Are Garter Snake harmful?
Garters were long thought to be nonvenomous, but recent discoveries have revealed that they do in fact produce a mild neurotoxic venom. Garter snakes are nevertheless harmless to humans due to the very low amounts of venom they produce, which is comparatively mild, and the fact that they lack an effective means of delivering it. They do have enlarged teeth in the back of their mouth, but unlike many rear fanged colubrid snakes, garter snakes do not have a groove running down the length of the teeth that would allow it to inject venom into its prey. The venom is delivered via a duvernoy's gland, secreted between their lips and gums. Whereas most venomous snakes have anterior or forward venom glands, the Duvernoy's gland of garters are posterior (to the rear) of the snake's eyes. The mild poison is spread into wounds through a chewing action. The properties of the venom are not well known, but it appears to contain 3FXT, commonly known as three-finger toxin, which is a neurotoxin commonly found in the venom of colobrids and elapids. A bite may result in mild swelling and an itching sensation. There are no known cases of serious injury and extremely few with symptoms of envenomation.
How do you attract garter snakes?
The key is to find where the snakes are gaining entrance to your house. Look for cracks or holes (the size of a quarter) in your foundation. Sewage and drain pipes can also be the problem. Block and/or fill in anything that looks like it could be their access point. Eliminate all habitat around your house such as leaves, tall grass or wood piles which garter snakes love. They hibernate in winter and then slowly emerge as the sun warms them back up. They feed on small rodents such as mice and shrews as well as insects. Inside the house keep things neat and tidy so they have no place to hide. Also vacuum all bugs that could be their next lunch. If you are unable to pinpoint where they are coming in make a trap of rolled loops of clear packing tape in areas where they are seen and they get stuck so you can remove them. They are attracted to any warm sunny spot, so keep a look out in windowsills etc. Garter snakes are helpful in the grand scheme of things as they eat rodents and insects. Their instinct leads them to warm places where they feel safe from predators. We just have to convince them that our house is NOT their home.
