>>Try and capture a snake from the wild that you know you can care for. A garter is the best choice. That way if your kid doesn't enjoy caring for it so much you can release it. But don't release it if you have had it for more than a few weeks, because they can get diseases while in captivity.

I wouldn't recommend that.....in some states it's illegal to release them back to the wild, especially if this is your first snake. Some snakes don't adapt to captivity too well. You are much better off getting a captive bred snake. These are more suited to captivity and are already going to be eating.
