I'm new to snake ownership, so any advice would be welcome! I've been reading a lot, but still feel a bit out at sea...

I rescued a garter, (about 1 ft, black withlight tan stripes, pale belly. Will post pictures. I'm in Oregon). She wasfound in a horse's stall, probably from a bale of hay. Woke up this morning,and she had one stillborn baby in her cage. I cleaned it up, but I had to leavefor a few hours. Came home, and still nothing. About half hour later there were2 babies in the cage. So, the questions.

Can wildgarters make good pets? What are the pros/cons? How do they compare to cornsnakes?

If I keepthem/one of them... Do I release the babies? The momma? Which would be mostsuccessful for a life in captivity? None?

What do Ifeed momma? What about the babies? I know some fish have thiaminase, which isn't good for them... Does salmon have it? Could Ifeed them little pieces of salmon? If I can get one to eat, should I just keepthat one? I've also heard worms are good, what kind? How often should I feedthem?

Sorry forall the questions, I just want to do what is best for them. If none would makegood pets, I'll release them all. Just want more opinions before I do that
