    Re: Need help in setting up!

    At two years old, she should be at about her maximum size, though she may grow a little more in her third year. To be absolutely correct, garters continue to grow throughout their lives, but the difference in their length isn't significant after their third year.

    To be perfectly honest, I don't know what the differences in the heating mats are. Maybe it's the temperature range? Hopefully somebody else will have the answer? Best,

    I don't know if there is a vast difference in heat mats, but I've always used the desert type,and they seem to be fine. I think the humidity ones are more for the reptiles who like moisture in the substrate all the time. Snakes prefer to be dry.
