I recently purchaced either a garter or ribon grass snake and in one and half months it has increased it's size by nearly 1/3. I just wanted to know if this is normal and if it is healthy or maybe i shouldnt feed it to much, also i used to live in california and "despite what the typical caresheet says" I happen to knoiw that they get more then 5 foot in length at times. I was wondering if there are any experianced garter keepers that can let me know what is the normal growth rate per year of a garter. Also I was wanting some breeding info for garters if there is any out there. Thank you for your time.
