From what i've read I've done most of everything right so far, except trying to feed him crickets). I don't have a heater yet but i guess his friend caught the snakes mom so its native to around here. I just turned off the A/C and did put a light that provides a little heat next to the tank until i can get to the store tonight to pick something up.

Re: What am i getting myself into....
Welcome to the forum! There are many wonderful people here from around the world that can answer probably any question you might come up with about the care of your new friend. Garters are wonderfully interactive and curious. Since you have a baby, handling him/her should be easy. The babies eat small cut up earthworms. Later you may be able to convert to cut up pinkies and salmon and/or trout. As Steve from Iowa has always told me, for those reluctant & stubborn Non-Eaters, try the guppy card. His advice has never failed me.
Good luck withyour new baby. We hope to see many more pictures!
