Big Floridas
Was just curious, I've heard how the Florida variety of T.s.sirtalis is supposed to be a fairly large, robust garter and was wondering, for those of you who keep them, how big are you're Floridas? I've read they can get to 4ft. and was thinking that'd be really cool to have a 4ft. garter snake. Oh and as always, if you have pics....that'd be cool too.

Re: Big Floridas
I've heard that, too. But I believe the current record is held by a parietalis.
 I am of course speaking about T. sirtalis. T. gigas should be even bigger, as you know.

Re: Big Floridas
I have sirtalis Florida Blues, they're still only babies but they are comparatively massive. I've kept them before and had some pretty big ones, couldn't say if they were 4ft or not, but they're the biggest Garter I've ever kept.

Re: Big Floridas
haven't got any floridas, but I do have an parietalis that is about 115cm (dont know what that is in feet or inches).
Not the longest snake around, but defenitly massive! Very much like Dons picture...Easily able to eat full grown mice |
