    At first glance it does appear to be a gravid female, and she's not only fat because she's gravid. She also appears to be very well fed. Don't over do it now.

    Yikes!!! I have never been bit by a garter, but it seems like it would be unnerving. Maybe her babies will be more calm

    It feels like a needle prick in a way. If they hang on it really hurts but if they just bite and let go it might make you bleed but it... I don't know how to explain it. It feels kind of like scraping your hand with rough sand paper.

    Hey now, don't go jumping to conclusions. I said at first glance she does appear gravid but I can't tell from one picture of course, but I would say she's definitely a female.
