MONSTER garter snakes

[Mrs N1ntndo]

I used to have a eastern garter that was 3.5 ft long and we would measure him every time he shed but I think he was old cause when I caught him he looked beat up but I brought him home and we had him for about a year and he was doing great and then I think he got sick or something cause we woke up and he had passed. He was awesome and very tame. Even my 4 year old would hold him all the time

Sheds are very inaccurate. The snake stretches them as they get out of it. Mama's sheds are 2.3 feet. I don't think northwesterns get that big at all. And, she's not as long as my arm, so it's obviously stretched out.

For measuring, I use string. The snake measurer doesn't work on my computer, so I just snip of a piece of yarn then line it up with the snake. After that you just put it next to a ruler.

Just reviving this thread because my mother in law came across this monster yesterday. Eastern garter that she said was the width of a 50 cent piece with two smaller sized garters with her (I'm assuming it's a female). The smaller two she said were much bigger than my one year old who is almost 2' in length.

Anyone ne ever heard of easterns getting this big?
