ok, after lots of research my mom and I decided we like Garter snakes better then Corn snakes, and we REALLY liked that Albino Checkered that someone on here has(sorry forget who it was) so we have been talking to the guy at the herp store, and after LOTS of calling around he finally found an Albino Checkered baby, so he snapped it up for me. I am going to pick him/her up on Wed. but I met it today when I went with my friends family to get a bearded dragon, and I was holding it it. he/she is sooo cute! and was winding its way around my fingers. its just an itty bitty baby right now, not much bigger then a worm lol. but but...I am exited, I cant wait!

Awesome!
How lucky! Garters are so neat, and it'll be awesome to see another on PT. I can tell you are absolutely ecstatic, as would I be.
I can't wait for Wednesday to get here so we can see some pictures of that little guy(or girl).

ok, now I am a little confused lol, everything I read up till now said they get 4-5 feet, but I checked look at one site that said 1 1/2 to 2 feet? snake people? which is it? it doesnt matter to me either way, but that is a very large discrepancy lol

CONGRADS! and i donno. if its a garter snake, i really would't know, but would GUESS on the 1-2 feet side

**angelbow20** · 09-10-2007, 07:42 AM

I would go with the 1 to 2 feet def. Garter snakes dont seem that big to me atleast.

lol, I mentioned it to my mom, she said she found the same thing, but that basicly they can range anywhere from 2-4 feet on length, that they dont usually get to 4 feet. but they CAN
