Ok, so as you might know I am newer to garters... I have a vagrans that was our first snake and who really made me addicted to them. But, we are getting ready to go to the spot where we caught him and I am faced with something that is bothering me... Do I let him go or keep him?

He is a nice snake he has never struck at us. He is just un-holdable. He is great for visual entertainment but that is it. Since I have gotten a baby garter (who is really mellow and will let you hold him for hours) I have realized he just might be set in his ways, even after hours of trying to hold him and get him used to us. He is a great eater and has put on some weight since we have owned him. He is definatley in better condition than when we found him. I just think I want to have the tank available for some baby garters or maybe a CB that is calmer...

What do you think? Any recommendations or stories to help me out?
