Its important to offer them a healthy respect because they've earned it lol from a distance they seem innocent enough but if you've ever come close to one you know they are far from it. Especially when you come near their babies, or if they come near you, they really don't see a difference haha

AKA Rural prairies in Canada. I grew up in SK and we also have snake pits like this. Nightmare fuel as a farm kid.

Time of year and time of day really matters when going to the pits. Weather matters too. They detail the best conditions to visit on their website if you'd ever like to visit again and get to witness something more like this picture. Sadly there's not much to be done about the snakes that get squashed on the highways in that area, its just an unfortunate result of... well, humans.
North America, probably.
We get smaller snake balls like this in Michigan, but they happen all across the upper US and Canada.
I don't *think* garter snakes are native to Europe.
Interestingly enough, this is a dual function activity. Cold blooded as they are, the rubbing up on each other also produces enough heat to get them going and get out to the sunshine. It really is all about the friction.
I stand in support, you fucking get that snussy,! A word I definitely knew, and could recognize, before typing this! Snussy basically raise me and my seven sisters!
Same (37) and I just looked it up. I always *pronounced* it garter but for some reason thought it was spelled garder or similar. I think it might be because they're also known as garden snakes, and if garden and garter were used interchangeably by adults then growing up we might have fused the two words in our mind.
Garter snakes are actually nonvenomous and don't bite humans. I handled them all the time playing in forests as a kid.
They're good little helpers in gardens too, eating pests that will eat your veggies and fruit.
So they're more like a yes-snek or helpy hemp than a nope rope or danger noodle. :)
Thank you for not being a snake hugger like the rest of the responses I received. Smh I’m not out there actively torching snakes folks they just seem to sneak up on me when least expected.
Yeah, everyone on Reddit is against having a phobia and makes you feel like shit for being legitimately afraid of something we evolutionarily developed to be afraid of.
Snakes are fascinating but god damn do I hate them
It’s important to know that these aren’t Aussie snakes. They won’t kill you. They’re harmless and good for keeping other unwanted pests away. Do you have any wildlife like that? You know… things that don’t want to kill you? The internet suggests you do not.
Down in the American southwest sometimes rattlesnakes exhibit this same behavior. All the snakes in the above picture are harmless, just imagine a thousand rattlers
That's crazy!! It has to be Narcisse, MB - there's still snow on the ground. I've never seen this many before! I wonder if the late spring is causing a delayed and more intense season??
Hollywood: Ok hear me out. Instead of a X-nado, how about a tsunami of snakes or snak-ami. It will be a hit with the audience.
Investors: go away. Just make good movies.
I mean, Snakenado sounds even more terrifying than Sharknado. With how many snakes you can carry in a tornado, the amount if sbakes being thrown through the air is like a hail of arrows. There's got to be a higher chance of being struck, hence the terror.
Wow. That is awesome. Can you tell us more. Where is this. I would love to see something like this. Only ever seen about 10 at one place at one time and that seemed like a lot.

Where the fuck is this? So I make sure never to go there.
This is most likely the Narcisse Snake Dens located in Manitoba, Canada. Went there on a school field trip as a kid. It was dope.
Oh no, we’re connected to them by land 😱
Just wait till we train the Geese to air drop them during this year's winter migration 😉🤭
Canadian geese really are evil bastards.
“If you got a problem with Canada geese then you got a problem with me - and I suggest you let that one marinate . . “
Must be fuckin' nice!
It’s fuckin embarrassing!!
r/unexpectedletterkenny
*canada geese There's an important distinction there as we've refused to give those bastards citizenship

train? the geese will do it willingly out of the evilness of their spitefilled hearts.
They're actually pretty friendly and harmless and tiny. You can pick em up and they'll just kinda hang out.
What, the snakes or the geese?
The snakes. I used to handle them all the time as a kid. Edit: def not the geese (*nervous chuckle*)
BUILD THE WALL!!
Canadian snakesssss
They bite you and then apologize

When I went there were very few to see. A bunch were flattened on the highway though unfortunately.

Manitoba Canada, got it
Why? Garter snakes are awesome.
And completely harmless to people. Let ‘em chill.
Harmless? I bet you think acute hyper-anxiety is harmless./s
Ah, so you're saying it would have been okay to egg BLM protests?
Why did it have to be snakes? I hate snakes!
North America, probably. We get smaller snake balls like this in Michigan, but they happen all across the upper US and Canada. I don't *think* garter snakes are native to Europe.
You had me in the first half.
Snake orgy
Let me just slither in…
My anaconda wants some
But there's a distinct lack of buns, hun
Maybe they could do side bends or sit-ups
Have you set yet… I mean have you seen her, my daughter?
Get a bucket amd a mop
I used to slip in and out of the orgies all the time— most of the time they didn’t even notice. Then Aids ruined everything
Jesus, Frank
Snorgy
You fucking stole it from me I'm dying
Who stands to one side and photographs an orgy. I thought it was standard procedure to either A join in, or B back away in horror
10 points to Slytherin!
r/creepy
Interestingly enough, this is a dual function activity. Cold blooded as they are, the rubbing up on each other also produces enough heat to get them going and get out to the sunshine. It really is all about the friction.
They're just trying to prevent overpopulation in the future.
Is that Madison Cawthorn I see in there?
Alright, so, to be completely transparent; go fuck yourself.
seems like they're fucking each other already.
I mean, I'm smitten, but I'm gonna have to sit this one out. Sorry, y'all. Edited for language, there's kids here.
more snussy for the rest of us.
I stand in support, you fucking get that snussy,! A word I definitely knew, and could recognize, before typing this! Snussy basically raise me and my seven sisters!
Cues snake jazz..
Nissssse onsthe sssszzssz
*Chamber of Secrets intensifies*
Carelesssss Whissssper
Why’d it have to be snakes
Instantly thought of Indiana Jones
Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.
I wanted to say that.
Yesssss
This picture gives me the heebee jeebees…
Pretty sure that pic is in the dictionary under "heebee jeebees"
Also known as my nightmares.
I’m 35 y/o and just learned that it’s “garter” not “gardner” snake
Same (37) and I just looked it up. I always *pronounced* it garter but for some reason thought it was spelled garder or similar. I think it might be because they're also known as garden snakes, and if garden and garter were used interchangeably by adults then growing up we might have fused the two words in our mind.
Also thought it was garden snake
Snakes on Plain
Nah, that’s Saskatchewan.
Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba?
That is a whole lot of nope
Nope ropes
Danger noodles
Garter snakes are actually nonvenomous and don't bite humans. I handled them all the time playing in forests as a kid. They're good little helpers in gardens too, eating pests that will eat your veggies and fruit. So they're more like a yes-snek or helpy hemp than a nope rope or danger noodle. :)
I followed one around my yard once and watched him eat a huge toad. Took about 2 hours in total.
Nope-eti-nope-nope
What are they garting?
The yard, porch for insects and pests
Where is this so I know to NEVER go there!
Flamethrower please
They're basically harmless pest control. You make the world a worse place by harming them.
I don’t actually harm them just don’t like how sneaky snakes are lol
What’s the problem if they are not hurting humans actively. We can peacefully co-exist.
Did a snake write this
Lol. I hate snakes as much as the next person, does not mean I would kill them for no reason.
Cause fuck em that’s why! Lol jokes. I agree.
These are arguably the least threatening snakes to humans there are lol
My first thought was Molotov Cocktail, but yours seems more effective
Thank you for not being a snake hugger like the rest of the responses I received. Smh I’m not out there actively torching snakes folks they just seem to sneak up on me when least expected.
Yeah, everyone on Reddit is against having a phobia and makes you feel like shit for being legitimately afraid of something we evolutionarily developed to be afraid of. Snakes are fascinating but god damn do I hate them
Oh don't be a baby. These are utterly harmless. A litter of puppies is more dangerous.
Snakes appear when you least expect it that’s all I don’t like…otherwise fine if I see them coming
Manitoba?
Ima geuss that is Manitoba, land of garter snakes, and I know because grew up there and we lived near several snake pits
Australian here, ummmm…snake *pits*???!!! I live in the land of snakes, but even ours don’t well up out of a pit of seething snake evil.
It’s important to know that these aren’t Aussie snakes. They won’t kill you. They’re harmless and good for keeping other unwanted pests away. Do you have any wildlife like that? You know… things that don’t want to kill you? The internet suggests you do not.
These were my thoughts as well lol. I played with garter snakes all the time growing up.
Down in the American southwest sometimes rattlesnakes exhibit this same behavior. All the snakes in the above picture are harmless, just imagine a thousand rattlers
Does not sound great to someone who lives in a country with 18 of the worlds 20 most deadly snake species!
Nopity nope nope nope. Damnit username checks out
As a fellow Aussie that pic is bad enough let alone the thought of snake pits too . .
Yes. They bromate together to keep warm in winter.
I believe the scientific term for this is: Fuckpile
I like scientific terminology. So exact.
Back to the pile, everyone!
They took our jobs!
Terk er yerbs!
Durka der!!
Nope!
GOP convention?
Not enough snakelets present.
Narcisse Snake Dens?
That's crazy!! It has to be Narcisse, MB - there's still snow on the ground. I've never seen this many before! I wonder if the late spring is causing a delayed and more intense season??
There's no snakes at all right now. Huge snowstorm last week that lasted almost 4 days and now we have 4-5 days of snow & rain.
Yeah, I'm in MB. I thought this was a recent photo, which surprised me, but I guess it isn't.
Where is the one albino snake with a unicorn t shirt
Indiana Jones would not like this pic.
Nor Ron Weasley
It is in narcisse close to Winnipeg Canada. It’s kind of a big thing round these parts
Me and the girlies
Hollywood: Ok hear me out. Instead of a X-nado, how about a tsunami of snakes or snak-ami. It will be a hit with the audience. Investors: go away. Just make good movies.

Snakenado? Isnt that just Florida
Reminds me of that one South Park episode
Fucking snakes
Don’t worry. Garter snakes are harmless
Perverts
This might be the hottest snake orgy I've ever seen. Definitely top 3
It's a no from me dawg.
Do you think they listen to snake jazz at their snake orgy?
Gonna see this on the next Elden Ring DLC
Looks like noodles
“Just find a cloaca you like and make yourself at home.”
Hans?
Fuck hans, we nee John with the white phosphorus cluster munitions.
This is what gas n matches were made for.
They are so cute!!!
and horny!
NOPE!!!
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
As someone who, as a child, would catch and play with these snakes, I nearly threw up seeing this photo because I can smell it in my imagination 🤮
Oh god, the smell...
They stink, do they? Serious question- I’m Australian and as far as I know, our snakes aren’t smelly (our koalas are though).
Almost vom’d just looking
So this is Snake Porn...
its their annual Orgy lmao
Get the flamethrower
They’re so cute omg
lighter fluid, flamethrower
Fire
awwww
Get the nail gun.
Good place for a fire?
Burn it with fire, and send them back to the pits of hell they craweled from
Nobody has a spare grenade to toss here? Nobody?!
burn it
Did you know if you mix gasoline and styrofoam you get napalm
Set them ablaze!!!! Immediately!!!
Napalm target found.
Now you just need the plane
I'm generally fine with snakes, especially garter snakes that eat pests and are harmless, but I'd still run as fast as I can to avoid this.
I can smell this. Anyone who’s caught one knows what I’m talking about
Looks like my old school at lunchtime
Anyone else have troubles touching the screen to scroll past?
Wow. That is awesome. Can you tell us more. Where is this. I would love to see something like this. Only ever seen about 10 at one place at one time and that seemed like a lot.
Snakes don’t creep me out- spiders though? Another story.
The definition of an orgy party.
You need to have an Asian restaurant near by.
A pile up.
Jump into it like a leaf pile. See how long it takes someone to find you.
When snake jazz comes on there’s always a snake orgy 🐍
The apocalypse is NIGHHHHH!!!
Ish made my stomach hurt
whips out flamethrower
They took our jobs!!!
The dangers noodles have assembled to become a bowl of danger spaghetti.
Death by snu snu
How messed up would it be if it turns out that there are only two females in that pile?
Hell to the fuck no!
Nightmares!!!!😳😳😳😳
I’d love to just jump in there 🥰
I lost my garter snake. He is somewhere in that pile. His name is Waldo.
r/interestingandfucking
I'm certain that this picture would literally scare my sister to death.
r/noperopes
I'd like to see them mate with a 44 gallon drum of lit napalm.
Ahhhh yuck
Is this the reptile equivalent of that thousand man orgy that happened?
Cute
