careful. those garters will bite. I know.

I remember when I was about 8, a couple of people were walking in the neighborhood with a large cardboard box that a fridge would be shipped in. They were doing a treasure hunt game for a party somewhere nearby. I traded two garter snakes in a bucket for the fridge box. (seriously, how often do you get a huge box to play with, snakes were everywhere for free anytime)

I doubt the snakes were on their list though.
