If you’re a student in Manitoba, Canada then you get your sex education in a very unique way. Every year school buses full of children flock to the snake pits to witness the insane swarming masses of red-sided garter snakes entwined in a mating ball orgy.
The phenomenon is created when females release a pheromone after emerging from hibernation. The scent drives the male snakes crazy and has them all scrambling in a frenzy to rush to her creating a heaving mass of snake desire.
The annual mating of red-sided garter snakes is a tourist attraction in Manitoba, Canada. That’s because when a female garter snake emerges from hibernation, she releases a pheromone that attracts hundreds of male snakes in the vicinity to rush her and create a large squirming "mating ball."
The annual red-garter mating balls are a big tourist attraction in Manitoba—and a source of many tales. One unsuspecting couple built a house on top of an empty snake pit one summer, only to find their property swarmed by thousands of red-sided garters returning to their traditional hibernation den in the fall. The couple quickly relocated their new house.
