Thanks!
To answer the other questions, (seems my other post didn't show up) he's from Saskatchewan. I'm not sure if he was caught, or captive bred. Someone my brother knows had some baby snakes and my bro offered to get me one, since I was admiring the one he had. I never even knew that people kept them as pets until I checked online when I got him home. (I admit that when I got him, my knowledge about garters was somewhat limited. I've done a lot of reading these past weeks!)

Anyways, I never thought I would love a snake! Someday, I'd like to get another if I can find someone who sells garters in my area.
