I'll be blunt (clumbsy?) I always worry when a person chooses their snake by virtue of its' price..... you asked particularly for a 'cheap' snake (under $50). What if you need a vet?
I know money is always a consideration, but remember 'sh1t happens' and once you own an animal it's welfare is your responsibility.

Re: Buying a Garter?
I would be able to pay for a vet, but I just don't want to be paying a whole bunch for a snake.

Steve lives in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Might be a bit far for a day trip from Minnesota, but it's could definitely be done. I personally live in Kansas City, KS suburbs but I don't breed snakes. Not yet anyways

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
