red sided be ready to mate next season, would an 18 inch?

[ssssnakeluvr]

males at 15 inches can breed, females should be 18 inches or more

i would have thought about 20inches for the female lol. the bigger the better as it can be quite difficult on the female if she is only small.

I would never breed a garter snake until it was 2 years old or more.

Size would be a good guide, Justin....and 15 inches doesn't make it!

Reed, judging by your numerous threads on this topic, obviously you're keen to breed your snakes (snake?) but please be patient and allow them to grow up first....or go and buy some adult snakes.

I agree with James and I would listen he knows what he's talking about!!!!

well most of the time...sorry mate had to put that in there.......
