just out of curiosity....

how much do garter snakes go for at like pet stores and stuff?
or do they even sell garters in pet stores?
Ive always just encountered them from catching them as a kid.
to me theyre worth a whole lot because I love them but I mean, what is their general pricing when you go about buying them?

In the UK the price varies depending on species.... you can get a baby radix or marcianus in the shops for around £35. More 'sought after' types, such as tetrataenia rarely get to the pet shops, they would be bought direct from a breeder... they might cost £100+ for a baby, depending on the seller.
European prices are a little lower.

I don't know about pet stores, but I usually use kingsnake.com as a general price scale (when you compare prices between breeders). I believe scott f. is has a variety of species, and would be able to give you a more specific answer pertaining to a specific one.

Im not even sure what specific kind of garter I wanted to know about to tell you the truth. The only ones Ive ever had encounters with are the wild eastern garters native to my area.

If I may make a recommendation..... T.radix. Maybe Steve (Guidofatherof5) could help you out there.
