Re: Need Feeding/Exercise Advice
I figured that...just teasing! . I think I'm getting pretty good at sexing by pic so I'm interested to see the pic and see if I can make a guess...

Re: Need Feeding/Exercise Advice
Yeah, I posted some pictures before and almost everyone said Matt was a girl, though there were one or two people that said she might be a dude.
She's an eastern garter snake. You guys don't think she's full grown at two feet?

Re: Need Feeding/Exercise Advice
Probably...they get up to three feet around here but that is the biggest they get from what I understand. Cee Cee is about 2 1/2 feet. I have heard that Delaware has the biggest Easterns...that is what I have heard...I don't know if that is correct or not. I have seen them at 3 feet here and pretty thick. If she is two feet chances are she is female...male Easterns do not usually get that big from what I understand also. My male is much smaller than my female. Post a couple more pics if you can and we can be more definite about sex.

Re: Need Feeding/Exercise Advice
Sexing gets easier as they grow more. I didn't realise Easterns were so small, not really read up on them as they don't see to be widely available here.

Sir in reference to your recent obloquy about the eastern garter and i quote "i didn't realise eastern's were so small" i serve you notice that any further calumny's against that honorable [and large ]race of garters and you will hear from my legal team,... messers nasty, suedem & grabbit. attorneys at law.
you may consider... this a final warning.

I'm not actually a gynecologist...but i'll take a look.

I seriously doubt it if it's a female. Depends on where you are though I guess. The further south you go, the larger they get. My adult male eastern is around 26 inches, and the wild females I've seen tend more towards the 3 to 3 1/2 foot range. Of course, these were Florida Blue easterns (like my male) spotted in a swampy area with a great food supply. Blues have a tendency to get a bit larger than some of the other morphs from what I've heard...
