Injured Garter Snake found + PICS!

While walking the dogs this morning we stumbled upon a nice yellow striped garter snake with a severe tail injury.

She's slightly malnourished and her injury is infected.

Undoubtedly with the cold weather blowing in fast she would certainly perish in the den over the winter, Cold temps are not conducive to reptile healing.

So she will be spending the winter indoors with daily antibiotic treatments while she heals up.

After she warms up I will take pictures including her injury. It looks like she will be losing a lot of her tail before we are done here.
