I had a thought that if I do get like 5 Garter snakes, (I would only allow this is they were the same species: Eastern) males and females, I would not let them hibernate, but I would let them breed. I wouldn't exactly want it to happen, but if it does, I don't mind. Anyways, if I do get Babies on my hands, I would let them go near my house. There is a valley within like half a mile of my house with a water supply and I bet plenty of yummy insects for them. Thoughts?
