I raised garters for years as a kid, never had any special heat or lights. I got my first garters in 1980....we had no such thing as a pet store in town (town of 980). My snakes did just fine, lived for many years, in fact, one was an adult when I caught her, and I had her for another 8 years after that. Soome people prefer heat for them, however I jsut keep my critter room warm and they do fine.
