Hey, I am pretty new with garter snakes on my own. My parents had some that were pregnant, and I wanted to have some myself. So, I have a garter, now (I asked adamanteus but want different opinions) How big should the tank be for one, does it have to be a vivarium, and what should I feed it?

Thanks everyone. I definately have a big enough tank for my one garter, 30 Gals.

hi Jeff
welcome to the forum
what kind of garter do you have and how big is it?

Hi Jeff, Welcome to the forum. A 30 gal. viv is certainly large enouge for two or three adult Garter.

Oops, I must of posted wrong. I haven't got one yet. I am looking at some pet stores, but I can't find them. I have about 5 in my backyard, so when hibernation ends...

Or is anyone here a breeder, I want to buy a baby garter.
