: Hi, in my current collection I'm keeping: 4 corn snakes, and 2 red sided garter snakes and 2 Common garter snakes.
: If I wanted to could I keep 2 garter snakes( same or not same sex)in the same terrarium????

: Sorry, if my English isn't good I'm from portugal!!!
: Please answer me as soon as YOU can!!!!!!!!!

In books I have read that you can keep multiple garter snakes if you allow 1.5 square feet of space per foot of snake. One book said that the best chances of breeding is in groups with ten or more females to one male.

I only have one so I cannot speak from experience--yet.
