How do you pick up a garter snake?

In: Lifestyle › Pets

Rate This Answer

When handling a snake, it will want to slither through your hands, which is natural. After you pick up a snake try keeping your hands about 10-12 inches apart, and rotate them so that the snake has someplace to go instead of dropping.
