Hello everyone, new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself. Name's Nick, living in central Iowa. I'm new to the idea of owning a garter snake, this forum has been great for getting information. I don't current own a snake yet, I've been trying to find one around my area in parks and around water but with no luck. However, I've been reading a lot of threads here on herping and I'm not going to give up. I'll welcome any location suggestions from anyone in the area
