    Gravid garter snake pics?

    I know I posted not long ago about a garter I thought was gravid and it was the total opposite lol and I felt like an idiot. Now I have one that seems much fatter than the normal ones I have and she's only 24" long but she seems to be shall we say stretched out pretty good to the point where the only way I think she could be that stretched out and not gravid is if she ate another snake :P now before I make a fool of myself again and post pics :P is there somewhere I can look at that shows gravid garter snakes? I tried google images and I didn't find any nice clear shots that I could compared to to aid me into figuring out if mine could be gravid or not
    PS you notice just an inch under her head is where it starts to stretch and goes a ways down. Now when I feed my garters worms and mice and such and fill their bellies they don't even look as "full" as she does which is why either she ate a snake or something lol. Just don't laugh at me too much I'm just so excited to someday have a gravid garter snake that I keep wondering when my time will come to experience this.

    Do a search in the gallery using the word "gravid" as your search word.

    maybe she's only a few weeks into it? :P could that be possible? I'm guessing you can tell by where on the body the snake is getting bigger?

    I'm with Shannon on this one. At this time of the year gravid should look gravid in most species.
    Just my opinion.

    I must be in a mode of desperation to have a gravid garter that I think any garter bigger than my previous one is gravid blah.

    I could always be wrong but that's what I see.
    She is or she isn't. Time will tell.
    Why so imperative you get a gravid female?
