You could build your own custom sized vivarium with window screening, a staple gun, wood glue, and of course custom cut lumber...

lol good thing i have a grandpa who made an addition on his house just for a workshop!!!! he built my boat.... a 1950 ocean going danish spidsgatter sailboat... he'll help!!! but i'd have to find the space in my room for it..... although it would be cool to build one that could fit in the corner....... and maybe with a lot of storage.......

I'm going to put Peepers, a yearling (and Jeepers, too if I get him), in a 20 gal long for awhile. Eventually I'll have my 3 garters in a 90 gal tank. That's ONLY 4' long so not very long. But it has good height for climbing things.

Depending on how Peepers (and possibly Jeepers) grows will determine when the two boys will move to the 90 gal.

Hmmmm.... assuming an adult garter has a volume approximately equal to a 3/4 inch diameter cylinder 20 inches long, that would be 8.83 cu inch/snake and there are 4620.3 cubic inches in 20 gallons. Sooooo you could fit about 523 garters in a 20 gal tank, give or take.
