Hi Sean, and welcome to the forum.:) It would be interesting to see those pictures.

I hope you don't mind if it's a ribbon snake. She's about 26 inches, and missing a bit of tail.

I don't have a big Garter but I like the ones here so far, I really like and want one of the melanistic easterns though.......:D

[drache]

that is quite a snake, Sid
how old was she?
I bet you were sad to loose her

[ssssnakeluvr]

Hopefully my melanistic will breed next year. will be getting a male melanistic later this year, will be breeding with my normal male, or, if I can get him to breeding size, my eastern albino male!!! Scott Felzer usually has melanistics....

Rhea, I got her as an adult (traded a box turtle for her). No idea of her age, but felt that she had to be fairly old to attain her size. And, yes...really hate it when I lost her:( . She was my favorite.
