Hey guys...

So I am new here also. Happy to be here! Right now I do not have any garter snakes but hope to get one or two in the near future. Already have 2 corns, a kingsnake, a hognose and a boa. Also have tarantulas, geckos, birds and a dog. I am the president and Founder of Lake Norman Herp Society that meets in Statesville, NC. I do a lot of education with my reptiles... manly for people to know what they are getting into when getting a new pet reptile. Would love to have a garter snake to share with them as well. (As no one in our club of about 15ish reptile lovers even have one.... 2 members have had them before but not at the moment.)

Can't wait to learn more about these awesome snakes!

Welcome aboard. If you educate people with your snakes you need a garter :). You'll certainly learn a lot on here on the forum, and if you have any questions just ask.

Nice to have you with us. Here's a link to the forum care sheet which will answer many question you might have.
Feel free to post any additional questions to the forum members.
You are correct, they are awesome snakes.
Looks like you've got a couple native garters to your State.
Eastern Ribbon Snake - Thamnophis sauritus
Eastern Garter Snake - Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis

Welcome to the forum! I really wish we had an active herp society around here. We have some listed, but apparently they are inactive. Maybe when I finish school I will try to start one. Glad you are doing your part to educate people on snakes! There are some members on here from NC...perhaps they can help you acquire a garter.
