I used to keep checkered garters as my first snakes years ago. They were a really nice breed, easy to handle, never musked or striked, and ate mice really easily. Unfortunately the last one I had escaped while I was out, and my dad caught it and put it in my eastern kingsnake's cage. Had a fat kingsnake when I came home! That was 10 years ago.

I'd like to see how large some garters can get. Thanks
