I found a Garter snake about 2 weeks ago. I took it to the local pet store and they said its definetly gravid! It shed about 2 days ago. How long should it take for birth?

Thanks

that depends on when she bred.....what state was she found in....more northerly states the snakes come out later than down south. If she bred in April, she should give birth around late July to August. Normal gestation period is 90 to 120 days. Theywill generally shed a week or so before birth.
