Answer 3

If you think snakes need friends and that your other snake died because it was lonely, you don't need a snake. And thinking that your snake can be trained to follow you is probably another reason you don't need one. And to everyone else, garter snakes are primarily fish and frog eaters. They rarely eat rodents in the wild.

Answer 4

1. Garter snakes eat mice. It you are near a petco or petsmart they sell frozen arctic feeder mice.

2. I like both names, but it's really up to you. Maybe once you see them you know which one fits best.

3. Garter snakes probably won't follow you, and I wouldn't let him loose in your house. They are good escape artists and odds are once he disappears, he'll be gone for good.

4. He would have to live alone. Any animal that shares a similar habitat would not be compatible with a snake.

Answer 5

Answer 7
