They can be found in large numbers, and commonly found around homes. To thwart a percieved threat, they will excrete a foul smelling fluid out of their anal gland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The common gartersnake, often referred to as the garden snake, is the most common snake found around homes in Tennessee. They are commonly found in large numbers, and will utilize foundation openings to gain access under a home. The largest threat this snake will cause, is the injury you may recieve if you trip while running away.<\/p>\n<p>As a defense mechanism, the common\u00a0gartersnake will puff itself out, or make itself appear larger than it is. They can grow up to 4 feet in length, but most of the time will be found much smaller. They are found throughout the entire State of Tennessee. Common gartersnakes will strike if too close or agitated, so it is best to keep your distance. Common gartersnakes will often feed on amphibians, rodents, and other insects and can be found with stripes or without.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Common Gartersnake\u00a0(Lampropetis getula) Length:\u00a020&#8243;-48&#8243; Weight: .5 ounces\u00a0&#8211; 1 pounds Diet:\u00a0Carnivorous, eating amphibians, rodents, and insects.
