Garter Snake Catching in Southeast PA

Hey
I'm out on the prowl for a garter snake again and am wondering if anyone knows what the best time of year for catching them is? Any other tips on where and when to catch them would be most welcome. I've always kept my eyes out for them and have spent some time looking a few years ago, but our property has always seemed lacking in garter snakes. We have forest, meadow, and stream on our property, with an abundance of worms, insects, and a fair amount of toads, but I've only casually seen 1 live, 1 caught by a cat, and 1 dead on the road over the past 5 or so years. Perhaps I am not looking at the right times & places. Any tips are welcome!
