Can anyone tell if this garter looks gravid?

Hard to tell for sure from that pic.My first guess would be no.If she is a wild caught.Then it would be almost definitely not.Most wild garters have had their babies by now.Here is a good example of how a gravid garter should look.Very fat and lumpy toward the rear end.

Thanks very much for your reply, you have beautiful snakes!!

Here in Alabama, eastern garters tend to drop late August and Sep.. but yeah many in July...

Well if she is a wild caught specimen, the she is most likely gravid.
