both appear to be parietalis....and I think they are females due how stocky they appear....but, we need photos of the belly by the tail to be able to better tell

ok one of the snakes is alot thinner then the other one,, thats why i figured one was a male and one a female,,,can a male and female from the same mother mate? or will that cause deformaties?

ssssnakeluvr · 10-14-2007, 09:36 PM

they can mate with no problems...just dont keep breeding their babies to each other and so on...

brandon0133 · 10-14-2007, 09:43 PM

In the long run they can eat too much and get obese, but not from one feeding.

Subadult garters can eat about 60% of their own weight in one meal.
First they will grow faster than thell become fat.
Fat females are called to produce small hatchlings.
