Do garter snakes like dirt

Answer 1

Garter snakes do not have a particular preference for dirt, but they are often found in areas with soil, grass, and vegetation where they can hunt for prey and find shelter. They thrive in diverse habitats, including gardens, forests, and wetlands, which may have dirt as part of the ecosystem. While they may burrow or hide in loose soil, their primary needs are access to food, water, and appropriate cover rather than a specific affinity for dirt itself.
