By the time you insulate it, the inside dimensions are much smaller.

I have packed plenty of snakes in a 12x9x6 and anything larger means that the buyer is purchasing many animals and it would be obvious that shipping is going to cost more. There are very few garter snakes babies-adults that could not fit in a 12x9x6 and still have room for packing, heat, etc.

Just my two cents. The 12x9x6 with insulation can hold 8 small deli cups with no problem. That covers any garters from just born up to about a year give or take. That is the minimum without really having to try.
