How To Care For Your Pet Rat Snake PLR

When in captivity, garter snakes are one of the easiest to take care of, especially for beginners. They usually have a calm temperament and a harmless bite which makes them cool enough for new herpetologists. Remember that garter snakes are cold-blooded, so when considering getting them, you have to be mindful to have a heat-lamp around to regulate their body temperature. 

Garter snakes tend to do well in captivity and live longer than when they are in the wild. Caring for them is not as complicated as caring for some other snakes, so there is nothing to worry about too much.
