How do they compare to garter snakes in terms of care and attitude?

Identical.

I will say that with their bite is not fun but it's not that bad. They share the exact same care as garters but give them a bigger water bowl. Once a week I fill up a 10g with water and let them cruise around. Some water snakes are mean, some are nice. Personally, I use cypress mulch as the bedding for these guys.I also add some fake plants.

The bite radius and veracity of bite/chew can be different though

[infernalis]

She's a completely wild specimen that has been living in the water hole behind my house for a couple years now.

Even had the rare opportunity to sit in the fading light of dusk and watch her slay fish once.

I truly hope for some more sightings this season.

One of my monitor lizards almost got her back in 2011.

it's about 40 seconds into the video.

That was close! I'm surprised the snake stayed so close for so long.
