Yes indeed Rick, wholesale collection for re-sale is very damaging, but taking one from the wild for your own collection is not going to be a problem.
I agree, wild caught snakes often carry parasites and pathogens, naturally one would treat a new acquisition for these, if they prove to be present. Also, I believe Chris has no established collection which could become contaminated.

Otherwise I believe my "generalization" to be pretty accurate....Wild caught Garters usually settle readily to a captive environment. Generally speaking!
