year around. during winter and fall they stay underground
I had a huge garter snake den in my backyard last spring. I got rid of every snake I seen come out of it. Didn't see any snakes all summer near it. Now it is getting fall I have seen snakes rooting around in it again. Big and small garter snakes. I have been watching and getting rid of the ones I see. I would say yes they return year after year to the same den to hibernate and have babies. I chased one over 50 yards before I lost it in through a privacy fence. It was a big one. over two inches in diameter and at least 4 ft long. About 3 hours later it was back. Needless to say it got away.
After mating, the female retains the developing embryos within her body, until they're fully developed. Each baby is ejected or 'born' from the cloaca - the ventral opening to the reproductive organs.

this is actually a complicated question. depending on where the garter snakes habitat is and the other animals that make up its food chain, a garter snakes diet can vary in three ways. some garter snakes eat fish and frogs if they live near water, some can eat mice or rats if they live in a plain or Forrest, some can even eat slugs and worms! but most fall into the general category where they will eat almost any of the above they can find.
I think it is that they deal with summer, spring, and fall then hibernate.
Spring, summer, and fall. Most active in the warmer months.

There are 14 types of snakes in Massachusetts. Some of which are diurnal, These are tips on finding these creatures. 1. When to find snakes = When looking for snakes in MA make sure its a sunny day in the Spring, Summer, and early and mid fall. The temperature should be between 65-85 degrees. Tip ( snakes don't like it when goes lower than 65 or 85 degrees). But that doesn't go for most snakes, Some snakes like Brown Snakes, Red-belly snakes, and Ring neck snakes like the temperature cooler like 55. In addition the best time to find these snakes is in the Spring. In the summer these snakes are found under logs and rocks.

But for example smooth Green snakes like grassland habitats, and Hog nose snakes like sandy areas. Garter snakes the most common snakes in Massachusetts can be found in virtually every habitat in Massachusetts. Other snakes you have to look a little harder. 3 What snakes will I come across = Garter snakes, Milk snakes, Northern Water snakes, Brown snakes, Black Racers, Ribbon snakes, Smooth Green snakes, Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes Some of are more uncommon snakes like Hog nose snakes, Black rat snakes, Timber Rattlesnakes, and Northern copperheads, and Worm snakes can be found but are harder to find. Snakes like Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes, Brown snakes, and some times Copperheads are nocturnal in Summer. Copperheads are most commonly found during daylight hours. Also some snakes like Ring Neck snakes can be found on cool cloudy or foggy summer mornings.

Bees are most active in the northeast beginning in spring when the temperatures warm up. Their activity begins as flowers begin to bloom. They remain active throughout the summer and into the fall, when they begin to prepare for winter.
