    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?

    welcome to the forum
    what kind of garter do you have and how big is it?
    are you going to have just that one?

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