Garter snakes do indeed posses a very mild toxin to basically slow down the struggle of small items like minnows and earthworms.
The toxin is known as 3FTx produced by the Duvernoy's gland at the rear of it's mouth.
However, I have been bitten way more times than I can count, draws blood, mild itch and thats it.
As far as poisonous, I'd never eat my pets, so I can't really say
