    Re: Praise for the Northwestern Garter Snake

    Maybe it's the smaller size.. For some reason a lot of people seem to think that the smaller a snake is the more flighty and jumpy it will be.

    Might be but that would not be the case as far as I know.
    The Northwesterns I keep are calm/docile and interactive.
    I wish more people would give them a try. They are a special snake.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
