Thank you, she is really liking the plants and light that I added. I even added a ziplock container with some moist paper towels that I put under the light as well and she has been in there more then a few times..lol..I got some of the ideas from here, thanks guys for this forum it has been more then helpful.

Looks good. Only tweak I'd suggest is that if I'm looking at it right the ziplock with the moist paper towel is clear, I'd consider a non-clear container so that she feels like it's a hide. But other than that it looks comfortable.

How does her length compare to the length of the tote? It looks like she has space to grow before you need to consider larger accommodation.
The other thing to watch for is condensation, make sure you have enough ventilation as I've found that using plastic tubs it's very easy for condensation to form at night when you don't see it, and run down the sides making the paper towels wet.

She is only about 4-5 inches long where as the tote is 24Lx14Wx12H...She has alot of room to grow and roam..lol..for ventilation I have a screen on the top so the whole top is open for ventilation, hopefully that is enough but have not noticed any condensation or wet paper towels..Thank you everyone for all of your advice, she seems to like it..

The screen on top will be plenty of ventilation. :)

Looks good to me, she should be very happy in there until she grows up :)

Yeah, until she wants a cell phone and a car and longer curfews and...........Wait, you're talking about garter snakes. Never mind.:D
