a single garter snake can be housed in a 10 gallon tank comfortably. they need a large enough water dish to soak in to help with shedding. It will need to be cleaned often as they like to defecate in the water dish....=( I use paper towels and newpapers for bedding. Carefresh is good if they are on rodents only. Most food they eat will be moist so bedding will stick to it and they will ingest it....can lead to serious health problems or death. A hide box is good for them to along with a rock to help with shedding. Make sure the lid is secure, they are masters of escapes!!!! I have a care page on my website and Scott Felzer has one on his site too.
