Is she maybe gravid?

[Philminator]

the pictures don't do her justice but she's twice as fat as my 3 other garters of roughly the same length, she's very mellow, doesn't move, doesn't eat, just stays in a corner all day in a ball and never wants to bask to get some sun, she drinks and is active if I pick her up. If I closely look at her it seems like she's stretched out a bit as if she would of eaten but she hasn't in the 10 days I've had her.
PS. she really doesn't look gravid at all until I compare her to the others, oh well just thought I'd post it to see what you guys think.

I seriuosly doubt it.She looks under weight.

She's looking very lean. I don't think she's gravid.
If she is I don't think it's a good thing for her or the babies at this time.
She may not be cut out for captive life. I had that happen a couple times with some radixes.
She may need to be released back where she came from.
Just my opinion.

Yeah of my 4 only 2 are eating and the one I just posted just shed might have to bring 2 of them back :( I get mice / fish tomorrow so hopefully their appetite comes back, because obviously they use to eat something before :)

i don't think so... very thin actually

[ssssnakeluvr]

she looks to thin to be gravid....

[RedSidedSPR]

She is VERY thin... not sure that's an unhealthy kind of thin, or just thin

[BUSHSNAKE]

not gravid

[ConcinusMan]

If anything, she looks half starved. Definitely not gravid.

[Philminator]

Weird she's actually the bigger of the 4 I have, ah well another week and if she doesn't eat I'll just put her back where I found her. My other 3 are smaller but eat pinkies / worms / tilapia, just weird that my biggest garter is the only one refusing to eat anything

[RedSidedSPR]

but is she the thickest?

[Philminator]

but is she the thickest?

Yes she is, which is why I thought maybe she was gravid because she is noticeably thicker than my other 3. I tried looking online at pictures of gravid garters and some of the pictures I saw of the supposed gravid garters don't really show, I just wanted to make sure she wasn't because if she was I would of put her in her own terrarium.

[RedSidedSPR]

Gotcha. Understandable.

don't take this the wrong way.. but you may want to start feeding your snakes more. That's pretty thin.

[Philminator]

ive had them for about 2 weeks now and they eat worms every other day whatever they can take in that sitting, then I offer them again about 48-72 hours later. and pinky parts / tilapia is something they just start eating a few days ago.

[RedSidedSPR]

ok.. i guess that's enough. Just make sure they have i nice fat bulge in their middle when they're done. Otherwise, they prob need more

[BUSHSNAKE]

maybe the other snakes you have are male

[RedSidedSPR]

I was gonna say that... but than she could still be beefier.

Not saying you're doing anything wrong, man. Just letting you know that's a little underweight ;)

it's fine lol I kinda felt like I was doing something wrong because I didn't want you guys thinking I am neglecting her :(

[RedSidedSPR]

We know you're not. Just not sure why she is so thin... it sounds like you're doing just fine ;)

[RedSidedSPR]
