To small for mice yet (narrow head), and I won't ever buy fillet again, I get whole trout for a few dollars each.

How do they compare to garter snakes in terms of care and attitude?

Identical.

The bite radius and veracity of bite/chew can be different though

I will say that with their bite is not fun but it's not that bad. They share the exact same care as garters but give them a bigger water bowl. Once a week I fill up a 10g with water and let them cruise around. Some water snakes are mean, some are nice. Personally, I use cypress mulch as the bedding for these guys.I also add some fake plants.
