Thanks..
I got two of them (males) from a breeder who produced more males than females, and people bought sibling pairs from him.
sad really, I traced them back to a guy I know, and he told me they were already imbred when he produced them, so who knows how many messed up snows are floating around out there.
And I'm just making idle conversation.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
That`s ok, I`m homebound caring for hubby, I don`t go get my son till tomorrow (mamma has had him at the beach) so I have all the time in the world for idle conversation!!
I love the all or mostly white snakes, my favorite corns are Palmetto`s, blizzards, snows, and some opals (there is a ruby freckled snow I saw a pic of that was absolutely stunning, but as a paradox it`s not something I will be able to find easily!!) In the BP`s I LOVE the high white Piebalds, LOVE THEM!!!!!!! So, of course, your little white caught my eye!!

How many could I keep in a 10 gallon size viv?

Oh it would. Multiple garter snakes in a cage are FUN. they MOVE unlike boas.
Which, FYI, means they need more than 10 gallons when they're adults. 
You should see my babies just crawling all over the place, checking out everything in, and out, of the cage...
Awesome snakes. I love garters.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
I don't know what others would say, as it would vary, but:
You can fit up to 10 babies, as small babies, in a 10 gal, but you better be ready for a really big cage later, and a lot of poo...
One or two MALES could live in a 10gal, but I dont recommend it. 20gals is best, for maybe 1-3 males... (males are smaller) but if there's more then two snakes probably more then 20gal.
Bigger snakes, like good sized males or mostly FEMALES, 3 of them would probably need 30, 40 gallons...
I like my garters to have a LOTS of room because THEY USE IT, and need it.
Like I said, that's me. People have different opinions on that.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
hrmm ok well it's something to think about. I am selling my house right now so it will have to wait a while anyways. My son (5yr old) Loves the colors on some of them and thought they would be fun to have. I will look into it more once I move and get settled. thanks for your input!

Not allowed to keep or possess any indigenous species here in BC. For some reason they have listed ALL garters as indigenous, whether the particular morph or sub-species is native to here or not. So the short of it is "no captive garters in BC"

This all depends on the snakes..
I have a few here that are runts, fully grown they are only around 12 inches. But these are exceptions..
A few males in a 20 long works out nice, but females can be 2-3 times larger than males, I keep most of my females either solo or in pairs only.
