    Unhappy I really need help! Please read why

    Right now it is the middle of September and garters have started migrating and now she is going to let most of them go and I was wondering if the snake will die or not... please help!

    I researched all day to find out why someone shouldn't let a captive born garter go I really need answers! It is pretty much fall now, the garters were born August 18/09
    Garter snakes are amazing! Don't you just love them?!

    release them near a rocky ditch 2-3 meter deep with water before october in Canada its cold, or release them in spring .On 4 probably 4 will die ,better chance for them if they had eat someting few days before release.

    That really becomes a judgement call. Released now in the right area gives them a chance to find food and shelter before freezing temps. Keeping them until Spring gives them the best chance at surviving since they will have a goood amount of time to eat and grow before their release. I will be keeping babies all Winter for a Spring release back to their native neigborhoods.
    I will warn you, keeping babies for any length of time will cause a severe addiction to the little ones. The little scrubs do grow on you.

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