My New Snake

[Finalflash50]

I like the bluish black ones, with very bright colored stripes.

I like everything, as long as it's a garter.

Here's mine, as you can see i have a pretty good variety.

Great snakes. How many do you have? I hope to have multiple sometime in the near future years.

That's all of 'em! The babies are all captive bred 2011, all living together (except the last one he's in quarantine for a little while) and I caught the first one.

I was wondering how big I could get this guy. He's an Eastern, which I've seen get pretty big, but only in the wild. Is it the same in captivity?

They usually can get a bit bigger in captivity than in the wild. With no parasites and access to good food they can reach their full potential more easily. An Eastern male will probably max out around 24-26 inches at the largest. I've heard of Florida blue females getting close to four feet though, even w/c.

Jesse: I love seeing pics of Red! He and Harley are finally starting to look a bit different. Looks like he's getting that Eastern male neck/head shape now, and she's starting to look more like a girly snake.

If it's a male he probably won't exceed more then 25 inches...
