Several of the 'tweens' my kids go to school with have recently 'ordered' garter snakes as they make great pets. Anyone know how you can get them? I've personally ordered 'larva' for raising/releasing butterflies, but not snakes .
This is the biggest breeder of garter snakes in the country:

I did a search for garter snakes and found them here:

They are $ 34.99 apiece and are adults. The shipping is $ 39.95. Good luck on your search for a pet!
I have a few in my back yard you can have. I love them but my husband is terrified of them and tries to kill them.: (
