MONSTER garter snakes

[Zdravko092368]

*stuff*

I definitely agree with this, when I search the forests near my city the garters are very small on average, however when I go to wildlife reserves with no roads and very few people average size is probably nearly a foot longer.

There is nothing in the picture for reference!

I don't know but all of the female easterns around here seem to get to be about 4 feet full grown. I have heard that the easterns in this area are some of the largest. Like I recently posted, I have a male eastern that is 4 feet and thick...I have never seen a male eastern that big. I will get a pic as soon as I can. He is very skiddish. My female radix, Sadie, that I got from Steve is a big girl. She is definitely around 4 feet long and very thick.

Here is the largest garter I've seen in a number of years: My son with a 35 inch red-sided. Probably a couple inches of tail tip missing, so maybe a 37 inch snake. Sadly, hit by a car shortly before we found it.

That was a shame. Nice big breeding female. The population will miss her.
