Help Identifying These?

i dont think there are too many doctors, and ill give her bath later tonight. also ill give it a shed before i start seriously freaking out, her belly looks pretty shedy, but her eyes havent blued over, and when i clean her tank she doesnt have shed laying around. could she just be holding it because she only recentlky started eating again? btw, does anybody know the growth rates for them, like is a foot good for a 7 month female and how big do you think she will get?

I don't think you are going to find any growth chart that would be accurate.
There are too many variables to deal with.
You'll only get generalization and they may not apply to your situation.
Each species can grow at different rates.

Well, we have determined that she is an eastern and eastern females can get pretty big. My eastern female, Cee Cee is almost 3 feet long. I have seen eastern garters bigger than 3 feet around here. I would say that a foot is good for a 7 month old female...I really don't know. My male eastern was about 10 inches when I found him and I am guessing that he was a little under a year old. Males are smaller than females. My male albino is about 7 months old now and he is a foot long, but he is very tiny in diameter. I am not sure the growth rate exactly. When is the last time your snake shed? Does your snake have a name?

How big do your females get?

See my last post David...I think I posted it before you asked the question. I also see that your garter snake is named Predator .

Mine are not normal. They're mutant, radiated monsters.

If you're talking about my T.radix girls I would say they average 28-32 inches.
Then I have a few big girls that are over 36 inches.
Even within a specific species there can be a big range of sizes.
"Radixes are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get." My mama used to say that.

my mom isnt a huge fan of the snakes, but she loves our crestie, she tries to old her more than i do . and for the shedding, i think now its been over two months. i got her early September, and since then she had two perfect sheds, pretty much a month apart, so she is long due for one... btw, i got the dekays and garter together, so i named them Alien and Predator, lol. also how thick do the easterns get? btw, tell me if you wanna see a pic of the crestie.

Post the crestie in the Other pets thread,I'd love to see him!

Well, Cee Cee is a big girl...she is 133 grams. She is my eastern female. She is the one that is almost 3 feet long. She is about 33 or 34 inches long last time I measured her. I've certainly seen thicker and longer garter snakes though. We like to see other pets...post your Dekay and Crestie...all of your other pets if you want, in the Other Pets thread in the Garter Snake Lounge.
