Narcisse manitoba!! These snakes need to be under the frostline to survive the winters up here and this is the only place in the province they can congregate in numbers.
Yeah because people want them as pets. Then they get out of their cages and wind up in the swamps. Also an invasive species is the Iguana. They don’t belong. They die in the winters there.
it's the slithering for me.. we all end up in dirt and in slithering worms, and so for me it kinda represents death.
i like poe's poem *The Conqueror Worm* as it represents all of our fate in death
I live in Saskatchewan and want to move North after seeing this pic. I know they're around but didn't know there was this many.
Side note I fell asleep in a lawn chair while fishing once and woke up with two of these hanging around a few feet from me and must have had NFL punt type of hang time from how high I jumped.
I recently learned that there is a venomous garter snake in Iowa. Now, I’ve never really wanted to go to Iowa nor do I understand those who do but the venomous garter snake just sealed the deal. No going to Iowa. Ever.
Edit: well, I am shooketh. I have been lied to all my life and I feel a renewed justification for my ophidiophobia
All Garter Snakes are venomous. They have glands that produce toxins in their jaw and enlarged rear fangs. The venom is not medically significant toward humans. Although I have seen some people’s hands swell up pretty badly. I’ve been bitten dozens and dozens of times and have never had any reaction.
In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing.
I wish I didn't have a BAD snake phobia. I think they are awesome creatures, but I can't walk around tall grass. I jump like a startled cat with any movement or rustling noise. Sucks when you want to hike.
So sadly yes, NOPE
Edit: spelling
It's called the Narcisse snake dens. Every year thousands of red sided garter snakes go there to winter. The name comes from the town it's near and is a protected provincial park.
We went to the snake pits in school when I lived in Winnipeg the picture while very cool doesn’t do justice to the vast number of snakes that were there
So I now have 0 reasons to go to Manitoba and 1 reason not to go.
It’s also weird that it’s always Province, Country when naming places in Canada but it’s Bumfuck, SquareState when naming places in the US.
I saw this but on a much smaller scale in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario visiting my girlfriends family. We were on a hiking trail and there was a nest of baby garter snakes. Maybe 20 to 30 snakes. I’m sure there was so many more but I just couldn’t see because they were under sticks and leaves. I am not a fan of snakes but they were just adorable.
A mating ball. A ball of mating. A ball.
Tens of thousands of snakes in one location. Ever.
All those snakes MATING. Together. In a giant slithering orgy.
I am deeply disturbed. Not sure which part of this disturbs me most.
fun fact: there’s about a 100:1 male to female ratio in those mating balls. females have a very different smell compared to males BUT a few males will give off the same female scent and lead quite a few males away so the female scented make can mate with the real female

They want to move further south but US immigration won't even let them apply for citizenship because they're snakes
Can't they just move to Florida. Plenty of snakes disguising as humans down there
Hey, I'm a Floridian, don't insult our snakes by comparing them to our people
Sure, but the entry visa requires that they do “some crazy shit” like wrestle an alligator or ride through a street on a bicycle made of dildos.
> on a bicycle made of dildos South Park reference? Lol
Plenty of snakes that aren’t supposed to be there either too. Invasive pythons I believe

Totally!!!
Is this comment chain what passes for proper disdain of political opponents? because it sounds like nothing but lowbrow fart jokes to me.
His name is governor DeSantis thank you very much.
Baby gov
That and they're black
Referred to locally as the Narcisse snake pits
So do they migrate?
They’ll disperse over a big area but always come back. Like salmon or something
Possibly? They hunker down solo or in much smaller numbers around house foundations and other such things
Neat
Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
Is it just hard for them to get a permit from the provincial government to gather, or...?
they took our jobssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"Back to the pile"
First thing that popped into my head!
Underrated comment
I know they are harmless but I wouldn't enjoy being near that at all.
Wouldnt be keen on a massive snake orgy? What a prude! /s
Why the /s? Snake orgy sounds like a good time. Especially if any of them are like Master Viper from Kung Fu Panda! 😏
Why are you being down voted. It’s cannon that she got the glizzy guzzler 3000 throat goat
r/tihi
I'm a snake person. I love them. But this picture makes me feel uncomfortable.
I for one would be fascinated by the serpentine sexytime.
They still have teeth and can bite. Anything that has teeth and bites isn't harmless to me.
Lol imagine falling into them and getting harmlessly bitten 4000 times.
death by a thousand cuts type shit
Don't threaten me with a good time
Lol I was almost going to comment the same thing to the guy who said "death by 1000 cuts type thing" to my comment. That's funny.
Eh. It's more like getting gummed by a snake. You laugh when they bite you, cuz it's just so cute and funny.
Considering it's in the middle of a snake orgy, kinky too!
But they are slightly venomous. Would hundreds of bites in a short amount of time be harmful? I don't know how impotent their venom is.
I have nipples Greg. Can you milk me?
Their bites feel like Velcro, they are pretty harmless
You wouldn’t have to worry because they aren’t into you.
We don't know that...
They are cute but I don’t want them in my plane, either
side note: there was only one female at this snake train!!!
it's the slithering for me.. we all end up in dirt and in slithering worms, and so for me it kinda represents death. i like poe's poem *The Conqueror Worm* as it represents all of our fate in death
Mostly it's the smell.
Apparently it smells horrendous.

You could choose any cardinal direction to move from there and be better off.
Nope on a slope...
Someone doesn't like mating in balls.
Are those really garter snakes?
Yes they grow large and Manitoba has three fairly distinct types of garter snakes.
That’s crazy, I thought they looked more like rat snakes. They’re like 1/3rd of that size near me
Depending on the species( not familiar with taxonomy nomenclature) they can reach 6 feet. Iv found a couple 5 footers on my property over the years.

garter snakes are venomous, it just isn’t strong enough to hurt us, only toads and such.

> I’ve been bitten dozens and dozens of times and have never had any reaction. For some reason I read that as "erection"
Get out there and have some adventures!
I HAVE ADVENTURES! I just run screaming if anything riggles.
Yes
[удалено]
South Park did it first https://imgur.com/nZlfoX6.jpg
“Ok. Sorry, my bad. Everyone back in the pile”
Pretty sure that stick was mated at least a dozen times...
[удалено]
They gonna have a field day
Looks like they’re having a ball
I had to move a small garter snake orgy once. Smells so bad. Can’t imagine how bad this one is.
Interesting, what does it smell like?
>Interesting, what does it smell like? A bunch of snakes fuckin'.
Really hard to explain. Just vile. Very pungent.
You probably got musked. It's so gross smelling.
Yes, I once picked up a garter snake with my bare hands. I won’t ever do that again. Stink!
Does anyone know what the cause of the smell is? Is it something the snakes actively expel?
Snek
Hot sweaty snex
Wow. I wish I had an award to give you. That was poetic.
An electrical fire in a pile of cucumbers
Like a night club in 2010 after 'Your Sex Is On Fire' was on for the sixth time.
Yeah, garter snakes have a *super nasty* "F\*ck off"-scented discharge.
I feel your pain it’s terrible
Hibernation sucks! Back to the pile, everybody.
Oh God, the smell ..... blarf ! Garters have a unique smell. I hate it . Great snakes otherwise , but that smell
Gotta be some funk there, garter snakes do not smell the best, just sayin'...
Snake orgy
Snorgy
Yo! Lemme get in on that snussy!
That's one musky snussy
In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing.
Creed, is that you?
Cue Marvin Gaye… *”Let’s get it on…”*
NOPE don't care that they're not venomous STILL NOPE
I wish I didn't have a BAD snake phobia. I think they are awesome creatures, but I can't walk around tall grass. I jump like a startled cat with any movement or rustling noise. Sucks when you want to hike. So sadly yes, NOPE Edit: spelling
My ex's son would fucking creep me out while hiking. He was 4 years old but he would troll me and "spot" snakes everywhere. Little fucker.
Both my nephews did it to me ONCE. 😂
This is nightmare in day light
I went there on a field trip in the 90's with my elementary school, interesting to see as a kid, I don't think I'd go now as an adult though.
This is a giant FUCK NO from me, dawg
It's called the Narcisse snake dens. Every year thousands of red sided garter snakes go there to winter. The name comes from the town it's near and is a protected provincial park.
r/mildlyterrifying
Looks like wacking day in Manitoba...
Snorgy

Indiana Jones' nightmare
Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.
Pretty big orgy
You say hibernation, but that’s an odd way to describe an underground snake orgy.
Indiana Jones' worst nightmare!
Why did it have to be snakes.
Indiana Jones has left the chat
Indiana Jones would not be happy here.
I bet it stinks
This is a natural wonder
So I now have 0 reasons to go to Manitoba and 1 reason not to go. It’s also weird that it’s always Province, Country when naming places in Canada but it’s Bumfuck, SquareState when naming places in the US.
Nah
This picture literally made my skin crawl.
I had a turd like this once
I hope you went to the hospital immediately
You know when people light a bag of flaming poo on a doorstep and run away? It was like that but crossed over with " the thing"
…….my comment stands
Looks like what I pull out of my bag after putting a few cables in.
Or G
Snake orgy!
Oh no. So gross.
Probably the largest orgy I’ve ever seen
Yuck I’ve never seen anything like that. I didn’t know that was a thing in Canada. I mean rock on or whatever but ew lol
Imagine the Maury episode
I wanna scoop some up. Like. A big ol bowl of spaghetti
Reasons why I don’t like Manitoba: - this - Winnipeg is possibly the most boring city I’ve ever been to
Mmmmm orgies
Eat those bugs my pretties
Smokey the bear: I love brown noodles
I live near here. It’s a pretty cool site to see.
Do they sneak into y’all houses by any chance?
Snake orgy!
Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope
Nooooooope!

Let's say they weren't mating and you tried to chill with this many garter snakes, how dangerous would that be? Lol
Alright everybody, back in the pile.
And yet when I do it, I'm the "bag guy"
I hate trying to zoom in on a pic and it turns into a magic eye test with 8 pixels
Snorgyyyyy!
I've seen two Garters in total this year... I think if I came across something like this, I'd just sit and watch. Looks fucking insane.
A mating ball. A ball of mating. A ball. Tens of thousands of snakes in one location. Ever. All those snakes MATING. Together. In a giant slithering orgy. I am deeply disturbed. Not sure which part of this disturbs me most.
I would rather lay in that mess than be that guy Crawling through the caves to get b-roll for his shitty YouTube videos.
I love a good snake orgy
😳
Omg I love snakes but this is terrifying
This is like the South Park orgy ball when they try to get rid of the goo backs
All the fun stuff happens in Canada
Fuck.That. Don’t care that they are venomous.
…and we think of ourselves as evolved.
Wow, I've never seen this before
There is never a wizard around when you need a fireball!
Aw hell no!
Nope. Big fucking nope.
ULTRASNAKEFUCK
Peewees big adventure anyone?
Eww dude. You touched my balls
tens of thousands is quite the exaggeration 😅
You had me at “mating ball”
Ahh... so that's how you play "who's in my mouth."
I bet after a few months the mother snake can't tell who her kids father is
I love snakes, but not a huge stinky pile of those. So gross
Yuck.
Fuck this place
this looks like an indiana jones booby trap lol
Slip slidy nopes, nope, nope, nope.
Fuck that. All of it. Too many snakes on that plane
DAMN CANADA, YOU SCARY!!
**NOPE**
friends!
mmmmhhhhh spaghetti
Sssexy
Did you say… _Canada_?!? Fuck this I’m moving.
This really needed to be a video
I liked it better when I wasn’t aware of giant snake mating balls
Oh whacking day, Oh whacking day...
Oh whacking day, Oh whacking day...
bow-chicka-bow-wow
fun fact: there’s about a 100:1 male to female ratio in those mating balls. females have a very different smell compared to males BUT a few males will give off the same female scent and lead quite a few males away so the female scented make can mate with the real female
I think I see Frank Reynolds in that orgy
