My Big eastern 2008

Went out to the pool this am and guess what? There was my Big Eastern that I kept for a couple of months last year. It was so cool to see her again, am really glad she made it and looked just fine (getting ready to shed), full of little baby snakes. Took her in and put her in the viv. and dug some worms, she chowed them down. Out for some photos and then back to her home under the pool walk. She really is a cool snake.



This is her photo from last year



This is her and her 42 babies that went down to ithica college for a baby garter growth rate study last year.



It has been a good day!

She's pretty BIG!!
I have to admit, I'm glad mine didn't have 42 babies. It took me 20 minutes to fish out 11 from under the Carefresh!

Re: My Big eastern 2008

I think she is about 30 inches (75 cm) rough estimate.
