Re: baby snake head size
My female ribbon has a shorter and fatter head than my male. It may just be a coincidence though.

 I wonder if she is a T brachystoma, or short-headed gartersnake (?) I got this pic of a shorthead on a website (I forget where I found it)

Re: baby snake head size
Yes, New York is one of the states where they naturally occur.
And if you are breeding her to a T sirtalis male, that is why her offspring don't have the same head...

Re: baby snake head size
I think brachystoma is found in New York State. snakefinder Snake finder will tell us!
As to whether or not Stonyloams is a short headed Garter...I don't know. I've never seen one in the flesh.
