First Garter Sake

[Jay]

I have always had a fascination with this species, and I was wondering if any one could offer me some solid advice on a great beginner Garter Snake. I am not new to keeping snakes, money is not an issue, I'm looking for an ative colorful snake.

The care for each subspecies is essentially the same, so I'd say just pick the one you find most attractive. I personally really like Wanderings, Red-Sideds, and Checkereds.

I'm sure Wayne will be able to help you out some more as well and he probably knows some good sources to get garters from.

where in Canada do you live?? Just asking as here in BC it is illegal to own a garter without an "indiginous species" licence.

Other than that, reptile 65 is right, wayne is the one to talk to about garters!!
