Garter is a clothing device made to hold up stockings or socks. They are used to hold up stockings as well as an alternative to pantyhose or to add sex appeal to an outfit. A garter can also be an elastic band covered in fabric that goes around the leg.
All snakes are carnivorous (including insects and worms). Garter snakes eat insects, worms, and frogs. Note: "Garden snake" is a mispronunciation of "Garter snake" which was named because its stripes looked like the decorative stripes on suspenders (garters).
