    If you think you snake is going to give birth you should separate the male and the female correct? Is this done to prevent the male from eating them? First time doing this....

    Cannibalism isn't the only reason for separating. There is also less of a chance the babies will get injured by the additional larger body and there is less stress on the mother.

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