Checkered Garter Snake

I Just took a garter snake from my friend who couldn't care for him. I was wondering the encloser needs and food can they be trained to eat dead food?? He's is very nice and great for handling.
Thx, Anole

In the wild, checkered garters are usually found in moderately moist areas near a permanent water source. In captivity they can be set up pretty much like any garter species - I use a 10 gallon with aspen or care fresh and a good sized shallow water bowl. As for feeding, the one I have started off only eating fish, but switched over to unscented, thawed mice within about the space of 4 feedings. They are not overly picky.
