Hi Carolyn, and welcome to the forum. There's not much to add, but be sure to read the links that Rhea (Drache) offered. I just wanted to reiterate that garters and ribbons hardly ever bite people. There are always a few snakes that break the rules, but it's uncommon. If you're concerned, just try putting your hand into the cage and touching the substrate until YOU'RE comfortable. When you go to handle the snake, show (or fake) confidence. Enjoy,

Rick
