Garder Snakes!

We came home from camping to find, like, six garder snakes in our back yard. There were all different sizes, and very beautiful! I wanted to catch one, but mom wouldn't let me because she didn't want to frighten them away. She wants them to eat all the mice, and the last time I caught a snake (And it bit me) It never came back again, and she doesn't want that to happen to these snakes. But I did get pretty close, and the biggest one even slithered over my foot! I didn't get a picture of it on my foot because at that moment the camera decided it was full and couldn't take any more pictures. but here are the pictures I did take. =)
