Yearling size?

[EasternGirl]

My male eastern was probably only about a foot long when he was just a year...but he was probably 2 and a half feet long six months later. I'd say he is full grown now...and I am guessing he is a little over 2 years old....hard to tell because he was wild caught. He topped out at 2 and a half feet. Female easterns can get much larger. Cee Cee is 3 feet long and probably at least 3 years old. I would say that Harley is on schedule...but as a female she should keep growing. She should be at least 3 feet long when she is full grown. I have seen easterns get quite large. Most of the full grown females around here are at least 3 feet long.

I've only ever seen one fully grown eastern female. For some reason, we have tons of snakes in my area but almost none of them are garters! That's cool. I knew she'd end up bigger than my male, who is about 26 inches, but I didn't know how much.

My experience with the easterns around here has been that all of the wild adult females I have seen have been about the same size as Cee Cee...but I'm sure there are smaller ones around, and maybe even larger ones. Like I said, my experience has been limited to the easterns I have seen in my yard. I will be interested to see how big your girl gets!
