    Welcome aboard.

    You can tell the sex by the shape of the tail and the adult size of the animals. We have several threads on sexing garters.

    How often hey shed, depends on their growth rate and the amount of wear and tear they're subjected to.

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