Breeding garters is fairly easy. They need to be taken off feed 2-3 weeks before

hibernation to clean out their digestive tract. Any food left can ferment and kill

the snake. The snakes are then placed in a cool area with the temperature around

50-55 degrees for about 3 months. They need water while in hibernation. They will

be somewhat active during this time. I have seen mine moving about their cages

fairly regularly. After the hibernation period, start warming them up, put them

together and they should breed

Jerom, I have found in the past that some Garters, T. marcianus in particular, will breed at any time of the year. They have been known to produce multiple litters of young in a year. I have bred Checkereds many times without brumating them first. So to answer your question....Yes, if you put them together they will very probably breed.

I've already given you my advice on the Dutch forum, but will repeat it here

.

In my opinion, they can mate. But it the female is too young, she won't produce anything. So your problem take's care of itself in my opinion.

I always have pairs together from when they are young. Never had any problems with it. Although I've seen mating at 1,5y, the female only produced a litter when she was 3.
