Re: Where do the babies go?
it's extremely rare to find garters at pet stores here in Utah....most of the pet stores view them as "beginner snakes" and no money in it. At the wasatch reptile expo, the only garters there were the ones I was showing....I actually sold a couple babies. the only consistent place here to find garters is Scott Felzer.....on a side note...go to kingsnake.com and to the garter snake forum...he posted a bunch of photos.

Re: Where do the babies go?
Hmmm, I have never seen a Garter snake for sale at any pet store around where I live. Maybe it is illegal to sell them here (in Missouri)? I have no idea.

Re: Where do the babies go?
The pet store here doesn't sell them either. They tell me it's because there's no demand, and they aren't legally allowed to sell any that are native to the area(Easterns).

Re: Where do the babies go?
it occurs to me that the vast majority of people who have garters probably don't breed them
if you (or your parent) bought your garter at a petshop, chances are you won't be told what kind of garter it is the employees might not even know that there's different species and they most likely tell you that it eats crickets and goldfish I think it's a long road from that to babies unless you got two garters of the opposite gender by accident so I think the quantity of intentional breeders is probably not that great
