Getting your first snake is pretty exciting , you will find that once you've got one and other owners and breeders in the area know you have one , you will walk into the pet store one day and someone will offer you a friend for your garter or tell you about someone who is looking to re-home another snake and so on and so on......


It sounds like you are gonna have one lucky snake on your hands .
Its good that you've asked all these questions rather than risking making mistakes later on.


This may have already been asked but what type of garter is it likely to be, can you google some pics and post the ones that look most like what you may be getting?
