Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Do ribbon snakes hurt the spawn of fish?

For the first time, I've noticed many ribbon snakes (a type of garter snake) on the shore or swimming in my pond. I figure maybe the larger largemouth will eat them as they swim across the surface even though some are over 2' long. Hopefully heron that stop by will eat them over eating my fish.
