I caught it a couple days ago, it's about 5 inches. I have always had problems in the past with wild caught garters usually being too stressed to eat and having to release them soon. It's housed in a 30 gal tank with a heat lamp, water dish, hiding places, and climbing objects since it likes wandering around and climbing everything. I also have a 15 gal tank if that's better. I plan on feeding it slugs, earthworms, and baby pacific tree frogs which I raise myself. These frogs are very common where I got my snake from, and I've seen garters eating them before.

I'll see if I can figure out how to add photos from my iPod, wasn't working earlier and I couldn't even post this thread from it.
