Yup. What he said ^^ I've handled many species of snakes and I have to say, N.Am garters are the sweetest among the snakes. Everything about their nature that we can relate to is there and it's the same kind of sweet nature that a smart puppy-dog would have. Only garters have the ability to recpricate (or communicate feelings) as far as I can tell, or at least they are the only ones that I can understand. Either way, the bond is there.
