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.
Garter snakes will eat their weight in mice in a couple months. They also eat a variety of insects. They are not venomous but they will coil around your arm and smear foul-smelling secretions on you so leave them alone.
The above answer is entrely wrong, Garter snakes feed mainly on cold blooded prey such as toads, frogs etc. When the are very small they feed on worms and small soft bodied insects mostly. Garter snakes defintely will not eat their weight in mice!!

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.
