Growth rate and maximum size?

Woa She's huge! And beautiful Her size/girth almost reminds me of a water snake.

She is HUGE! I can see the Syfy network making a scary movie about her lol.

(For non-Americans, the Syfy network is a television station dedicated to the genre of sci-fi and horror.)

Hahaha. Thx all. Yeah she's very big and very kind. She's my pride .

But about growth ..... I had 2 concinnus females ... one was around 100 cm and very big. Her sister was smaller and shorter. It was a very large difference. The babies from both where also different in size. From the 5 females that where born from the big female even they where different in size. One is VERY big for it's age, but her sisters stay much smaller.
If you look at the picture .. she's 4 months old now, and the parietalis is from april 2011.

What I want to say is that garters, even the same species grow very different in size.

Agreed.

We have a checkered from PinJohn born August last year, and our friends' have one from the same litter. Our Eskerina is quite a lot smaller than Lightning, but Lightning was the biggest of the litter and has always stayed ahead (even when she went on a controlled diet because she'd eat everyone's share of the food when they were fed together). Last time we compared weights Lightning was 20-25% heavier than Esk, and Esk wasn't the smallest in the litter.
