You for the most part can keep snakes of the same genus together, but don't mix things like milksnakes and cornsnakes with garters. keep corns with corns, milks with milks, and garters with garters. Corns and milks will occasionally actually eat one another so I am sure they may try it on your garter. you never know when a corn or milk could smell a bit of food that your garter has eaten and decide it wants some, and garters are not constrictors so they cannot fight back. a milksnake half the size of your garter, could easily kill it.

The only snake I keep together are garters, and I keep some corns in pairs.
