Why are garters underrated?

[RedSidedSPR]

I think because no one knows about the pros of them as pets. To them, they are garter snakes. Just those little snakes you see everywhere. Very common. Just, boring old "garden snakes". they don't know them as those awesome little, friendly, active, variably colorful, beautiful little snakes that eat anything.

But, anyone who does know, that's most of their snake collection

I thought that corns are just as much common in US as garters.

Yes, they're probably more common in pet stores. They're cheap and known to be good snakes for kids. Add in a couple of cool colors to attract the kiddos and you've got a product that sells easily...
