I don't know much about captive garter snakes, but I know we have plenty of them here. I do not think that sand would be good for them because it is no where near what they naturally live in. You may be better off keeping him/her on paper towels(correct me if I'm wrong).

I kept garter snakes for a couple years. Paper towels or aspen shavings is best. Give them a water bowl big enough to get into, or better, swim in.
