All garters have different personalities. What species you get is up to your own personal preference. Each and every snake is different. They are much like humans, you never find a human that is exactly the same. I keep Northwestern garter snakes and Oregon red spotted garter snakes. Both of them are really fun. Some people might find Northwesterns a bit boring with their colouring, but in my opinion, they are the most beautiful garter snakes in the world. Udo is right when he says garters are dangerous. They are like a drug that you cant stay away from.
