      I mean yeah it’s a giant snake ball but the worst thing a garter can do to you is stink on you as a means of self defense 😄 They’re tiny and goofy and among the few potential pet snakes that can be kept without being fed vertebrates.

            They might realise the power of teamwork and together bind me in webs and communally devour me. Now they have a taste for human, are organised and each pregnant with 1500 spiderlings.

        Their saliva is mildly toxic so if you’re unlucky enough to be allergic you could get an annoying rash from a bite.

        They do bite. It doesn’t really hurt but it’s shocking when it happens.

            IIRC history started with the invention of written word, somewhere around 6000 years ago

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorded_history

            Cave art existed for at least 40000 years

              I would say, that drawings also count as history. They show glimpses how how life has been 10.000 and more years ago.

    My kid used to love going for walks in the woods with me.

    One day we came across one of these mating balls, and they had never seen a garter snake before. Despite my assurances that these are literally one of the most harmless things you can find in the woods, my kid has never willingly accompanied me for hikes since.
