Snake Colony Discovered Near Estevan
A roughly 1,000 snake colony was found about four miles from Estevan by Tom Gentles Regina and examined by the Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History. The Red Sided Garter Snakes formed a 100 by 10 by 20 foot gulley high on a hill, with about 500 snakes visible and an estimated 500 more burrowed underground. Snakes hibernate from fall to spring feeding on body fat, and the site attracted many to hibernate there. Dr. Robert W. Nero credited public reports for aiding the museum’s study of Saskatchewan wildlife.
