Hoping to add a garter snake (or two! or more!) to my home in the spring/summertime next year, so I'm just doing my research now.
I find forums the best way to get information, even better than FB groups.
I am wanting a similis or infernalis, I think, but that may change. Who knows.
I might go for one a little more local to me (I'm in northern illinois).

Anyway! I look forward to reading more posts here, and hopefully I'll be able to chime in on occasion (if I'm not too shy).
