I have raised many different types of snakes for a long time, and I would recommend getting used to something like a corn or common getula(kingsnake), or a number of other types before venturing into the milksnakes. These can be VERY high-strung and nervous, especially when young, and often don't make the best "holding" snake. Especially the young will often bolt off your hand onto the floor if you are not extremely in tune with their behavior.
good luck!, ~Doug
ps, it's "garter" snake, not "gardner" snake. These got their common name from their resemblance to a ladies garter belt from many years past.
