Is my garter fat?

[GarterGreen]

For about a month and a half I was feeding my snake a pinkie about 1 every five days--so more then just once a week. I hadn't been handling him since he is wild caught and I didn't want to stress him out.

I took him out last night to do a complete breakdown of his enclosure and noticed he's really chunky. I think I'm going to take him out at least once a week and slow down feeding. What do you guys think?

looks like a female to me

She's a good looking female. 1 pinky every 5 days is not a problem.

Probably just very healthy.

Female!? Really? I always assumed the smaller size meant male? Are there any pictures I can send that will make the designation more sure?

Wow my snake is female. Haha awesome! That means she'll get big

Sounds like our post was educational and helpful.

Was she wild caught or captive bred?

[GarterGreen]

I caught her as a baby.
