Wild Garters in my area

[xStatic]

Is there a large difference between those subspecies? Do wandering garters make good pets? Are there any negative drawbacks to them like bad attitude, bad feeding response, etc.? They are fairly easy to find around here in the summer (:

Do wandering garters make good pets?

Damn good ones if you ask me. All of the ones I have, have been far better pets than most of the common garters I've had.

Are there any negative drawbacks to them like bad attitude, bad feeding response, etc.?

The attitude is great and the feeding response phenomenal, but they do require solo housing because there's a risk that they'll try to make a meal of their cagemate regardless of its size.

I have two, and they are both awesome captives. Stefan already covered it...
