I've been wondering for a while now about garter snakes' weights in relation to their lengths, and I'd like to know if any of you have weighed yours.

I've been weighing and measuring mine every couple of months since I got my first garter. My male grew 10cm (4") and increased by about 5g (~10%) in weight during the first year I had him. I'd like to find out if 49 grams is little for a 65cm male parietalis, but I don't have anything to compare it to.
