Went to Inwood today, its located a few km south of Narcisse in Mnitoba, Canada, which are the location of a huge number of Thamnophis sirtalis parientalis which hibernates there.

Here are some pictures (undoctored and on photobucket so they are very compressed. I will post better pix later on)

A short while on the trail to the quarry we found a few garters. Here is Kevin, Sheri and Tyler looking at a nice garter:




Closeup. The closer we came to the quarry the more snakes we found:



At the end of the trail we found some smaller mating balls:



The quarry



Found this rascal in the quarry on a trail:



After we found a smaller amount on the trail we was at The Den and thousands of snakes:





Some curios ones looking out:



Thamnophis sirtalis parientalis, really beautiful snakes




More pix on my website later on!
