Garter snakes are active in the daytime except during extremely hot weather and even then they aren't active in darkness as a general rule. My guess is that if this really is a garter he has found a favorable hiding place very close by and the spot where you find him is just a good spot to warm up in the morning. It's not unusual for a garter to find a favorite shelter, warm up very close to it before going out to hunt, and return.
