Did this ever happened before an brown garter giving live birth to eight teen ring neck snakes cause it happened to mine which got pregnant in the wild and had babies in captivity?
They were other garter snakes. It is impossible for a garter snake to give birth to a ring neck snake. They are very different snakes. Garters are semi aquatic ovoviviparous colubrids while ring neck snakes are oviparous rear fanged snakes that are venomous to other reptiles along with amphibians. You said you got it in the wild? Let it go. You want a garter snake - go to a reptile shop.

yes, if not wild caught. Wild caught snakes are more prone to diseases, parasites, and are very difficult to tame. Catching wild snakes also puts pressure on the natural populations.

How do you make a wild garter snake a tame pet?
It is very difficult. Garter snakes are active, nervous serpents, and rarely settle down. They should not be kept as pets. Snakes are not like dogs... they cannot be "made" into tame pets. Although I am sure they can be pets, I don't believe they will ever come when you call, fetch a stick/ball, or let you pet it.

This is the snake that has made Manitoba's Interlake region world-famous for snake-watching! Some snake dens (or hibernacula, singular = hibernaculum) contain 10,000 garter snakes each winter. In spring their mass emergence creates an awesome natural spectacle The chances of a snake reaching 12 years of age are less than 1 in 5,000.. that is the best i got. you could also always say too many to count!

Can garter snakes survive off of pinky mice?
Yes, they can! This isn't a natural diet for the majority of garter snake species as most do not eat mammals in the wild except for the largest of individuals, but it is a very common diet for them in captivity. Pinky mice and rats for larger garters are advised over furred rodents, as they are not adapted to eat mammals and the fur can cause impaction.
What types of snakes make the best pets?
Ball Pythons make very good pets. Make sure you get a captive bred snake-as the wild ones are a handful! I have had my Ball Python for over 5 yrs-and he is a wonderful pet. H'es clean,freindly,and is very used to being handled by people!
