Garter Snakes were thought to be nonvenomous, but recent discoveries revealed that they do produce a mild neurotoxic venom but lack effective means of delivering it. Garter snakes can't kill an individual with the amounts of venom they produce. They can be found from Alaska, Canada, North America to Central America. Garter snakes diet consists of slugs, earthworms, leeches, lizards, amphibians, birds, fish, toads and rodents.

Do people kill a lot of snakes?

Yes. Because lots of people are terribly frightened of snakes, most of the time those people kill the snakes.
