    Re: Question about clutch size...

    What you get is just that, what you get. Has she birthed any babies or will this be her first?
    Much depends on her size and the number of ova in the chain. With the births on the Ranch I've had females delivering for the first time averaging about 12-15 babies. There or course are exceptions to those numbers.
    Many, many variables makes answering your question difficult.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: Question about clutch size...

    This would be her first. She is not a very big girl, I am thinking your ranch females are often much larger.

    To give you an idea of her size she was about the same size as Ny when you got her only the flame is a bit thicker.

    I thought smaller/younger snakes have smaller clutches?
