So I've been looking into the banned and controlled species in BC. Nowhere have I found Garters on any of the lists I have found so far!! (except venomous ones which I did not know existed!! But there is reference to them on one of the lists.
Anyways if anybody could attach links to pages for BC regulations that do include Garters, that would be helpful.
these are the pages I have found so far:
BC SPCA: Exotic animal ownership restrictions

I'll keep looking myself too.
