Check your local laws concerning collection of wildlife. Most states require a permit to keep wild animals as pets. What do you plan to feed your wild-caught snake? Do you think it will even take food? You may find that it is too scared to eat. Garter snakes do seem to adapt okay to captivity. They like earthworms and crickets. You've got to understand the needs of an animal before keeping it as a pet.
Have you looked into a baby snake from a pet store that was raised in captivity? These make better pets because they are used to human contact and will be perfectly content to be handled and fed by a human.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Snakes Anybody out here in web land own a snake, Im sure some of you do but im to lazy to read through the treads. Any ways my dad and uncles got a 160 acres of land in upper wisconsin here and going up there since I was a kid Ive always liked catching shit. Most I see are small grass snakes and gardeners. My Plan is to catch a really big ass one and just throw it in a tank lol. Im aimn for a Pine snake as they are bigger and fuckn cool and non poisoness. Rating: 5
