Yes. they have teeth, and a very large garter snake can give you a fairly nasty bite. I had one bite me once on the end of the finger. The snake was about 2 feet long and I bled like a stuck pig. A small one may not even pierce the skin. It all depends ion the snakes size, build, and what subspecies it is.
ALL snakes have teeth, including garters. Garter snakes' teeth do not fold back, but are difficult to see because they also have gums that may obscure the teeth, which are small in most of them.
They ARE teeth! Not ridges of sharp bone. Not adapted scales.
Teeth! Anyone who says different is simply ignorant of the facts.

Not fangs, as only poisonous snakes have them, but they do have sharp little teeth. We used to play with them and sometimes they would bite. It didn't hurt very bad.Here is a link that tell you they do have teeth. http://www.repticzone.com/forums/Garter-RibbonSnakes/messages/938129.html

yes! they do bite but i'm not sure about any teeth/ fangs..they are harmless to humans but some people might have rashes and swelling on the area when bitten.
its saliva is toxic to amphibians and small animals.

Yes they do. They have teeth like little needles that line both the upper & lower jaws.
