Garter Snakes during mating season

When a female snake is ready to mate, she begins to release pheromones which leaves an odor trail as goes about her day. If a male catches her scent, he
will follow her trail until he finds her. It looks like this female was being followed by several males all attracted to the pheromones she was producing!
