How many people had a wild caught garter for their first garter? Not saying this is bad (I have a wc), just wondering.

I just caught mine a couple of days ago and I am trying to get caring info on it I thought they would eat crickets but that did not work .

don't feed crickets to your garter, I don't think you are supposed to feed anything with an exoskeleton, but I could be wrong

My First Garter Snake (which i'm holding right now) is a wild one.

Got it like 2 months ago, she just runned across me.

My first snake was a wild caught garter.....I have had many wild caught garters over the years. Wild caught garters do real well in general, tho you will have a problem feeder here and there.

Yep. About my first 100 snakes (including garters) were wild-caught. My Mom wouldn't let me bring them in the house, so I'd carry them around in a bucket before releasing them back on our property in Missouri (where I grew up). I guess I was practicing "catch and release" before it had a name .
