okay.... I know I do not have a garter,
but my snake is handaled daily. he rests in my hand and drinks from his water dish and eats from my hand as well .
he will not try to slither away and will stay put when I pick him up and then coiles in my hand and will stay there for a long time, he does venture on the bed but always comes twards me or my hand just to keep close to my skin. he frequently will wrap his tail on one of my fingers and will not come off unless you remove him, mind you he still hunts the worms and I have seen him drink on his own , but has a liking to being handled.
I do think, if given the chance to escape, he might try a jail break!
dont know if this will count...
bye
