Ok, and how big males of this species can grow? I heard they are very calm. Can a such male become a companion for Kleo? I saw an offer of almost 1 year old male... Won't he try to mate with her?

Re: marcianus?
Different sexed and species of Thamnophis should not be housed together.
At least not breeding age.Steve

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: marcianus?
Yeah, I know, but I heard that ribbons are actually pretty hard to breed and they are different species, so I figured out that they won't do babies.
And besides, I'm sure, that with my luck, if I buy her a female companion, Kleo will turn to be a male!

Re: marcianus?
I wouldn't count on that. Snakes of the same genus are able to interbreed.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Re: marcianus?
You can't count on that. Putting them together runs the risk of breeding.
Both are Thamnophis.
It's too much of a risk in my opinion.

Re: marcianus?
Aren't they supposed to mate after winter hibernation?
PS. I'm shedding (number of posts)! Lol, and I didn't even have a cloudy eyes!

Re: marcianus?
Optimum breeding time is after brumation but they can breed at anytime of the year.

Re: marcianus?
Well, maybe I'll just buy him and keep separate, how about that?
So, how big males can be?

Re: marcianus?
They average, like, 20inches. Mine is 24inches (3 years old) that's bigger than average.
