What can you get at Petsmart for Garter snakes

[Didymus20X6]

Since I live in the Mississippi Delta, where it gets plenty warm on its own, I don't really use any heat source except the one incandescent light (the rest in my house are florescent). I don't cool the house during the daytime, so it gets to be about 87F inside during the day. I figure that, plus the incandescent bulb, should be plenty for my guys. If not, I have a heating pad for backup.

broken clay flower flower pot make great hides, and many nurseries will let you have them for nothing

Okay

I like the tupperware idea with the screen. I am 13 and can get my father to help me create it.

We have a Walmart so I can get everything there.

-screen
-screws
-nuts
-bolts
-wood frame

I know how to build this. The was everything works. The only thing is the price. I will be able to make this is long as its under 30 dollars.

Total: (least) $20.00
I think.

What can I get for bedding???

Paper towels & newspaper are perfectly fine to use, some even prefer them for their babies. Aspen & Carefresh are a few other things people use, if you go with the Aspen try finding some in the small animal department, it's usually a few dollars less then the stuff packaged for reptiles. I've also heard of people using leaf litter & stuff out of their yard, I'd worry about bringing in other things with the leaves, but that might be an option.
