Has anyone noticed that checkered garters, or at least albino checkereds, tend to become obese? I attend every reptile show in this area (to within 150 miles) and it seems every albino checkered garter I've seen, no matter what age, is extremely obese. I know that they are very strong eaters if mine are anything to go by, but obese? I saw one female that was no longer than 14 inches but had the girth of a large magic-marker. Her head was enormous for her size. My females are around 18 inches and are about half that one's thickness. Since then, I've seen at least 3 others at shows that were almost as fat. These are the first over-weight garters I've ever seen. Is it normal for checkereds?
