Right now both my eastern garters that are housed separately since one is only a baby. I was planning on moving them into the same enclosure whenever Harley gets big enough to not get accidentally hurt or bitten during feeding time just because I think Houdini would enjoy being housed with another snake. I don't mind if there are babies, and eventually I'm hoping to get a litter from the two of them. I was just wondering if an under-sized female would mate, which could be potentially dangerous for her, or do they not become sexually mature until they reach their adult size?

None of this would be happening any time soon since Harley would probably lose a fight with a nightcrawler at this point.. but there's still a lot I don't know about the way these snakes work and I'm just curious
