hello everyone

[jeanette]

hello to all.
im new to garter snakes, although myself and my husband have a royal python and a corn snake x (crossed with a black rat snake),
im thinking about getting a couple of garter snakes but im finding some rather mixed information on how they should be kept and im hoping that you guys here can educate me.
im a real reptile and amphibian freak and although i wanna go out and get some garter snakes now, i wont until ive had some solid advice from people who are actually experianced in keeping them.
