We do have probably thousands of posts asking this and many other frequently asked questions regarding care of garter snakes. That is why we have this: Garter Snake Care Sheet - Caresheets

Read it thoroughly. There is a section regarding substrate. It should answer any questions you might have. The care sheet is written by members of this forum.
