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. It is better to purchase a captive bred garter snake from a pet store or local breeder. They are very easy to find no matter where u live.

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.
