I have been keeping wandering garters since 1980....I have seen cannibalism happen, but extremely rarely. I recently had and adult male eat a baby, and a wandering I had in high school may have eaten a valley garter I put in with her (the valley garter was half the size of the wandering and he disappeared and we never found him). I have housed many wandering together and have had no problems. It's common to find several under a rock or board inthe wild. Do be careful at feeding time....they can fight over food and accidently eat one....
