Okay so my kid just had to have a snake (we are reptile people, i have an iguana, my husband has a bearded dragon, and we have a mud turtle we saved from the pool one year). We got a garter snake since its native to the area and figured it would be a decent starter snake. well we bought it at the pet store and the other day the darn thing just had babies!! 5 live and 3 stillborn. anyway, we barely know how to care for the mom, let alone the babies. some advice would be great.
