A few years ago, I brought home a harmless garter snake I had caught on the golf course. As we already had quite a zoo at our house, we set it up in a large tank and it seemed quite happy living there munching on the worms and feeder fish we provided it.
A few weeks later, we came home one night to find the snake out of its tank and on the kitchen floor. No big deal--but, when we went to put it back in the tank, that's when we noticed the dozens of baby snakes squirming around!
We had no idea the snake was a pregnant female! Because the adults will sometimes eat their young, we had to set up a separate tank for the little ones.
They were so cute! Honestly--they were about the size of worms and had little yellow stripes like their mother. (I know you snake haters are gagging right now.) But, they were truly just adorable.
Eventually, we released them all. It was quite fun having a snake nursery for a while.
