I took one of our most cherished garter snake(Lucky) to Applebee's. While the family ate dinner, Lucky stayed in the backpack right next to me. All the times I checked on her she appeared to be sleeping.
My kids laugh about that all the time. They say she's probably the only garter snake to sit in a booth at Applebee's.

Waiter/Waitress: Hello, welcome to apple bee's can I have your order?
Steve: What are the pinkie specials for today?
Waiter/waitress:Um........

Yay! i can post replys! Well. Flicker prolly tol you about the snake i cought. I'm not going to keep it (although i wish i could!) and I im confirming its agressive nature. i'll be posting a hello in the welcome room soon enough

Aggressiveness in garter snakes usually goes away fairly quickly. They are just defending themselves.
Once they know you are not a threat and maybe a good food source, they chill out.

[Snakers]

Good source of yummy food that is

That's too bad.
Your time with garter snakes will come. They are in your blood for life. It's a good thing.

Indeed they are. although.... for the meantime i need a name
and can you tell me if she's gravid?

[guidofatherof5]

There is no way to tell you for sure if she is or isn't.
It all boils down to the experience of the people telling you and some luck.
If she's a heavy bodied female she may look gravid but not be.
She may also be a thin bodied female that has a small litter.
Only time will tell either way.
Considering the time of the year and her size I say no, but that is just a guess on my part.
That's too bad they don't make E.P.T's for snakes.

She looks a bit like Mama. When I caught Mama she was the BIGGEST garter snake I had ever seen. I thought she was definitely gravid... Turned out that she was just a female Lately, she's been getting fatter every day... Not in a bad way though (I hope she never sees this post! she might bite me for calling her fat!!) She's been eating a lot too.. But don't get me wrong, I absolutely love fat garters Maybe I'll have to get myself a radix one day since Steve has said they're eating machines. I want a garter that's just like me! haha
