Normally Garter Snakes settle well into a captive environment, Lindsey. For general information on their needs try reading through this article;

But, just to point out, most of the snakes in your pictures are not Garter Snakes, but are Brown Snakes (or Dekays Snakes) Storeria dekayi.

well like i said 7 were red bellies (Northern Red Belly)they only grow to be probably 12inches at the most, they dont bite at all but that other one that i took pictures of twice i was pretty sure that was a garter

Great photos Lindsey

. The Garters looks like T. sirtalis sirtalis to me. If I decide to keep one from the wild, I pretty much leave it to it's self for the first week or two and allow it time to adjust to a captive enviroment. Doing this I've never had a problem with one.
