How long between breeding and birth? Thanks

Gestation is usually around 90 days.

gestation for garters is around 90-120 days

[jewel-dragons]

yes absolutely 120 days.... i think the albino's are similar by normal marcianus... i have no baby's from my Albino's yet... but from my wild colors.... and that was + - 120 days... after the first mating. :-)

[ssssnakeluvr]

my albino plains went around 120 days...seemed to take forever to get here!!

[tbrent1]

thanks for your help are there any sign that they are close? Do they have a prelay shed? I just pick up a pair and the female may be gravid.

[ssssnakeluvr]

the female will shed about a week or so before dropping....

[CrazyHedgehog]

the female will shed about a week or so before dropping....
Usually.......but not always!!! (as many on here will testify!)

[ssssnakeluvr]

well, usually they will...my albino shed and then shed 2 weeks later and a weeklater had babies....

[garterchick]

doesn't the gestation depend on environmental conditions, such as temperature, humitity, etc ?

Welcome to the forum tbrent1.......

[ssssnakeluvr]

temps probably do, but not humidity, garters kept in cagecan have problems with high humidity

Welcome to the forum tbrent1.......
Thank you. And thanks to everyone for their input

You've seriously had garters go 120 days? I've never had one that went over 100, but then most of mine are easterns or Cali's. I had no idea they could go that long, learn something new every day!

[Lulu Bennett]

to be honest i was only thinking of 90 days. i didnt realise it was that long either.

[drache]

well . . .
and there is also that they can store sperm, if it's just not a good time
possibly up to three years I seem to recall
can't find my books yet . . .

[Lulu Bennett]

the can store for upto 3 years?? omg!!!

[drache]

seems long, doesn't it?
can someone verify?
I may be inflating the number, but it's over a year
probably got it from Strumpfbandnattern

[Lulu Bennett]

i think its fantastic how they can store the sperm. i wonder what happens to it if it passes its 'sell by date' lol

PMSL!!!! so delicatly put lol

[tbrent1]

well she was pregnant but for some reason out of 11 babies born only 3 made it. The rest seem to have not made it out of the sack?

[MoJo]

So sorry to hear that many did not make it. Nature can be very harsh. Enjoy the babies you do have.

[drache]
