Rats vs rats vs little human ratlets

**A gardening friend tells this story.
Her young neighbor came by one day to play with the little garter
snakes in Margo's garden.
The girl was holding and playing with the snake, roughly, so my
friend asked her to put down the snake.
The girl refused, and squeezed harder, and the snake started upchucking.
My friend said she had never seen the amount of snails and slugs that
the poor snake upchucked. The snake had consumed a HUGE amount of the
slimy beasts.

Good in the garden, snakes.

Bad in the garden, little girls who handle snakes roughly.
