thinking about getting a garter

megan15 Mar 17, 2005 02:37 PM

My mom is planning on getting a snake for my 11 year old brother, we were thinking about getting him a garter snake. Do you think this is a good choice, do they mind being handled? Is there any type of garter snake that would be best? thanks.

I got my first a few months ago. A near full grown female texas checkard... she is the sweetest thing ever. Never musks or strikes... this is my only experience but it has been very good.

Do you think it would be better to get a garter snake or a ribbon snake?
