I just got a wild garter. Here's what they told me to do to tame them. Put them in their cage for the first 7 days, do not pick them up. Be sure to clean their cage each time it gets dirty. After 7 days, pick them up 2-3 times per day, for at least 10 minutes each time. The longer you handle them the more tame they'll get. I've been picking mine up for about 2 weeks now and he just stopped struggling in my hands yesterday, so he is making progress.

Remember they have a primitive brain and act only on instinct, there is really no intelligence there.

This we do not know.
However, after my science fair experiment, we will.

intelligence is relative
and like Kyle said - we do not know
there is no scientific evidence that animals have no intelligence - it's just a myth started in the bible
I've met humans who behave with less intelligence than the average garter
