    This is my fastest growing garter ever. She's 31 inches at 11 months old. She's gravid and should have her babies any day now

    Any chance she's older?
    If not, that would have to be some kind of growth record. And she's gravid to boot. WOW.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    She is definitely 11 months in the picture. She'll be a year in two weeks. I've had some that hit about 26 inches but she holds the record at my house

    Re: red spotted

    The reason I ask is that she would have had to devote energy to both growing and egg development.
    The egg development would have been around her 6 month old or earlier time. Very strange.
    Good luck.
    Looking forward to seeing some baby pictures.

    Re: red spotted

    Yeah, that doesn't sound right. Now, I've had them reach 26 inches in a year when they were born big (10 inches or so) but to be sexually mature at 6-12 months, never. Not calling you a liar but if what you say is true than it's very unusual.

    Re: red spotted

    I did last year. She only had 7 babies but they were huge. This is one of them, and it's only a day old. My hand/wrist gives you a pretty good idea. Those babies were 10-11 inches at birth.
