communal housing and different sized snakes

we imported her from Florida

That may explain a lot. Florida locales kind of have a reputation for especially large individuals. The Florida Blue morph of Easterns (which is what the male I was talking about is) seem to be larger than a lot of other Easterns.

Wait... Do you have a kiddie pool for your snakes? That is hilarious.

Some snakes are just giants. My old male is just over 3 ft long. Absolutely dwarfs all the other males I've seen. It's so extreme I actually thought my others were sick or stunted at first lol. (and he's definitely male too; his breeding season behavior pretty much confirms it)

yes! ahaha they need to exercise some way lol swimming is great exercise and they dont run off into my yard lol its half deflated so they can climb out but i just keep putting them back in gives me a lil exercise too lol

I've noticed Florida blues are huge, idk if they are on average bigger than the melanistic easterns on lake Erie though, every female I find is 3 feet, it's like the average size lol.

I love melanistics! I really want one.

I once caught a Florida blue female that was pushing four feet (she was just chilling on an old camping road, so I laid down and used myself as a ruler lol). No idea if that's the norm or not, but that one at least was an absolute monster.

I can't wait till I have the funds to branch out and start working with some of the other species of garter. Pugets and infernalis are at the top of my list.
