I found a ball of garder snakes in a window well of my house.?

Question

I don't know how they got down there, but should I just leave them be?

I don't think they can get out on their own, its pretty deep. Suggestions?

Answer 1

Put a bucket that is about 6 inches high down there before you go to sleep.  When you wake up take it out and there will be a lot in there.  Then let them go and do it every night till they are gone.

Answer 2

leave them be...if there is a ball of them they might be breeding.  if you do take them out be extremely careful in doing so (garter snake bite won't hurt but pulling them apart could hurt the snakes).  here is a you tube video of a garter snake "breeding ball"

hopefully that link works :)

Answer 3

If I were you, I would try and move them to another area away from my house. Just get a bucket and thongs and you can pick them up. If you are careful, they will not mind at all.

Answer 4

they will leave on their own when they get to it.  no need to do anything.
