The Narcisse Snake Pits are located in the Rural
Municipality of Armstrong 3.7 miles north of Narcisse, Manitoba, Canada. The
dens are the winter home of tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes.
These pits are the largest concentration in the world of this particular type
of snake. Their winter dens are subterranean caverns formed by the area's
water-worn limestone bedrock. In the spring, they come up from their dens to
the snake pits, where they mate. Then they disperse into the nearby marshes
for the summer.
