They have great personalities (which it sounds like you may not have seen yet considering the general lack of energy your snake has at the moment) and are very people friendly snakes comparatively.

If your snake does not make it, and we are all pulling for the opposite of course, you always have the option of seeking out another one, and a tank that's already setup gives you good incentive to do so.

I have had a lot of different pet across my life, and I love animals, but I've really found a special fondness for my garters.

So there you have it... I think I would commit to the tank and trimmings, and tell yourself that if something does happen to your little one, you're still gonna move forward with another garter.

Best of luck!
Good advice. Especially for any Garter that needs up with you.

By taking the little scrub into your house you've infected everyone.
Don't worry, it's a good thing.
They are a special animal.
