    Is she maybe gravid?

    the pictures don't do her justice but she's twice as fat as my 3 other garters of roughly the same length, she's very mellow, doesn't move, doesn't eat, just stays in a corner all day in a ball and never wants to bask to get some sun, she drinks and is active if I pick her up. If I closely look at her it seems like she's stretched out a bit as if she would of eaten but she hasn't in the 10 days I've had her.
    PS. she really doesn't look gravid at all until I compare her to the others, oh well just thought I'd post it to see what you guys think.

    She's looking very lean. I don't think she's gravid.
    If she is I don't think it's a good thing for her or the babies at this time.
    She may not be cut out for captive life. I had that happen a couple times with some radixes.
    She may need to be released back where she came from.
    Just my opinion.

    If anything, she looks half starved. Definitely not gravid.

    Weird she's actually the bigger of the 4 I have, ah well another week and if she doesn't eat I'll just put her back where I found her. My other 3 are smaller but eat pinkies / worms / tilapia, just weird that my biggest garter is the only one refusing to eat anything
