Cool thanks everyone! (: If I kept one it would be a loner anyway. All my other snakes are either very young or of a much different species lol

All of the garters I've picked up around here have been really awesome. I've never paid much attention to the different types but I'll assume most are probably the same species. They've never bitten or even musked me before. I think when spring arrives I will go out on a hunt for some snakes! I may keep one but I'm not sure if I really do need anymore.

Does anyone think it would be difficult to get a wild snake switched into mice? During the winter it's too cold to go digging for worms and I would rather not deal with guppies (I can do F/T fish tho!). All my other snakes are on mice. From the sounds of it wandering garters seem to eat most everything.. but does that transfer to captivity well?

@ I_heart_sneakie_snakes: Your snakes are awesome! (: Are they that brown in real life? I love that color. The ones around here are more black than that
