Garters like streams. Try flipping rocks or logs and look under them. Visit the area near the stream late at night, with a good flashlight.

In an area of your yard that is closest to the stream, or where there is alot of cover, lay down a piece of plywood with a 1 x 1 board nailed along one edge of it. Wait two or three weeks... then go out and flip the board at about 6 AM. If no garter, make sure you position the board just as it was, wait a couple of days, and try again.

If all else fails, check with forum members that have new babies!
