Garter snakes and garter snake morphs make outstanding captive specimens!

A diurnal snake, Garters are more likely to be active when you are awake to see it.

Smallish in size, garter snakes do not require huge cages like boas or pythons do.

Comfortable within a wide temperature range, nothing special is needed to maintain a healthy, happy pet garter snake.



If you are looking for a smaller snake with dazzling colourations, vivid patterns and flexible feeding options (perhaps you don't wish to feed mice) look no further than the amazing Garter Snake.

 

Most male Garter Snakes average 24 inches or less and most females just a little bigger.

 

Garter Snakes are an active species of snake that most owners report are activly out cruising their surroundings during the day while people are actually awake, unlike most pythons, milk snakes and the ever so common corn snake.

 

 

Often confused as "beginner pets" Garter snakes are actually very rewarding captives for anyone ranging from the intermediate snake keeper to seasoned veteran keepers.

With the increasing numbers of specialty morphs becoming available, Garter snakes are rapidly becoming a part of growing snake collections worldwide.
