I have noticed that a lot of people have mentioned how nasty the Wandering Garters can be. I have noticed the exact opposite in all of the Wanderings I have come across in captivity and in the wild. Out of the types I currently own my Erythristic Eastern is by far the most wild, followed by my Red Spotted, which is followed by all three of my female Plains. My two best behaving snakes are two that generally have the worst reputations, my Wanderings and my Bluestripe (similis).

I just wanted to throw this out there and get a feel for what people think. I have noticed that the Wandering and similis have the strongest feeding response and are very confident as I like to put it, I wonder if that is often mistaken for overall nastiness.
