they are a small rock grass kinda snake, and why would you want one?
sure, sometimes, but I typically see them in / near tall grass.
Garter snakes are land dwelling snakes, but do swim. They eat insects, amphibians and even small fish. A creek is a good source of food, so they would hang around there, but not exclusively.
You'd better be careful. Moccasins live near creeks too.
Yes, garter snakes CAN be found near creeks, as there are several aquatic and semi-aquatic species. When I was a youngster visiting relatives in Lincoln, NE., I used to see hundreds of green striped garters near a creek on my grandparents farm. The aquatic species typically take fish, leaches, snails, and other aquatic invertebrates.
