Do you think this was a baby snake considering it's size?

Answer 1

It's a scared snake, is what it is!  (Wants to put you over her knee and whip with you a willow branch!)  Poor snake!

I have to agree with Madsnakeman on this one - it's just impossible to answer, with the lack of focus, etc.  Towards the end of the clip, there appeared to be a solid line down the snake's back, but I can't swear to that.  If so, it's most likely a yearling garter snake.

Now, stop terrorizing snakes in their native habitat!!!  Look - don't touch!

I hope this has been helpful.

Answer 2

The video isnt too good but it appears to be a rat snake maybe a year or two old. Definitely no baby

Answer 3

for a gardern snake ya thatz normal size i wouldn't say to young of a baby but ya defiantly on the verge of being a kid lol

Answer 4

Most likely it is a baby or it's very young. For a sure-fire answer you would need to know what kind of snake it is.

Answer 5

Dude put your mom back in the grass.

Answer 6

No, that is an adult. Garter snakes are born very small, 4 to 9 inches depending upon species. Most species only grow 2 to 3 feet in length.

EDIT: Ahh, garter snake. No, that is an adult or subadult. Garter snakes are born very small, 4 to 9 inches depending upon species. Most species only grow 2 to 3 feet in length.

Answer 7

I think it's a adult too.  I've seen garters that may have been bigger than that but the one in the video is probably an adult.  Definitely not a baby - like the other folks said, they are tiny.
