I don't think it's true to say Garters are very social, or even at all social. They brumate en-masse and form breeding aggregations, but then they lead solitary lives, as other snakes do.
Wrong, i have a pack (I don't kno what the right word for a group of snakes is) of T. Ordinoides in my garden about 7 or so, and their always basking together in the spring
