First... Garters give live birth. So, no worrying about eggs. When the snakes are mature enough to mate, you'll have to burmate them for several weeks. After burmation, put them together and nature will take care of the rest.

To be honest, I would suggest a bit of reading and research before you start breeding. Baby Garters can be quite a bit more demanding than adults, so a little basic knowledge of the subject would be a good idea before you embark on anything more challenging.

Can I suggest you start by having a good read through our Care Sheets:

Then maybe get a good general snake book from your local lending library.
