Hows my checkered garter & setup look?

[mustang]

Snake looks malnourished. Are you sure it's getting enough food?

i can only see the biger picture due to restricted school wifi (and i can see the little picture of selina) were you serious about that being underweight?(i know "" usually means sarcasm but it never hurts to double check, checker seems to be about that size (body porportions atleast)) sorry if it seems im being stupid and you were sarcastic
what is the easiest way to know if your snake is underweight?
also iv been meaning to ask yalll
how often should checker shed?

What should she weigh? her shed was 36" so she must be slightly less.
I've not weighed her yet, just getting her used to being handled. I've only had her a couple of months and she wasn't handled before. The guy who had her said she goes mental and bites and he got me to pick her up when i bought her because he didn't want to. I let her settle in a while as she kept striking at me through the glass but now she's calmed down and doesn't do it. I pick her up with gloves on and then take them off once I've got her as she normally bit as I pick her up but she doesn't bite as much now. Once I'm holding her she's ok apart from being skittish at first and musking.
Its funny garter snakes seem quite rare over here in the UK these days. I do searches and there is only usually the odd couple for sale in the whole country that I can find.
I posted picks of her on reptile forum UK but she doesn't get much attention. Its all royals, boas and corns mainly that everyone's into over here but they don't really do anything for me to be honest.

Me neither.

She looks in good health. You appear to be judging the food size right so I would stick to the 7 day schedule.
