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.
