The snakes don't take care of their young. They lay eggs and leave.
how long can garter snakes stay under water?
Depending on the species, garter snakes can grow to around 48 inches long.
In captivity, common garter snakes usually live between 6 to 10 years, sometimes longer.
Some kings of Garter snakes can grow more than 4 ft long but it depends on what it eats and what its genetic prints are.
Most likely in a garden or long grass or a wet...swampy area
they are about 1 foot and 2 inch ^^^^ I left this answer alone - just to show how some people DON'T read the question properly !. After mating, the gestation period for Garter snakes is between two and three months. The female 'gives birth' to live young - as opposed to laying eggs.... Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
As long as they have just had a large meal, and slow their metabolic rate, then yes.
Rattle snakes generally have a triangular head with cat-like eyes. Their bodies are slim and long ranging from 4 to 8 feet in length.
So long as the snake finds the habitat beneficial, the snake will live there. Garter snakes prefer wet woodland areas and they can usually be found underneath some sort of cover. If you have a pond, chances are you will always have garter snakes. if you eliminate places for them to hide around the yard it may help. Other than that, they mean no harm, so you may just have a new neighbor!
There's quite a few species under 6 feet long that make reasonable 'pets'. Garter snakes rarely exceed 3 feet. Corn snakes average around 5 feet in length. Even Royal Pythons are shorter than 6 feet at adult size (although in any species there areexceptions !)
It depends on the species of snake, some live only for a few years, some can live over 30 years. Usually higher-metabolism snakes like garter snakes live shorter lives than pythons or boas, normally less than 10 years. The oldest snake I've heard of so far is over 40 years old.
I had a huge garter snake den in my backyard last spring. I got rid of every snake I seen come out of it. Didn't see any snakes all summer near it. Now it is getting fall I have seen snakes rooting around in it again. Big and small garter snakes. I have been watching and getting rid of the ones I see. I would say yes they return year after year to the same den to hibernate and have babies. I chased one over 50 yards before I lost it in through a privacy fence. It was a big one. over two inches in diameter and at least 4 ft long. About 3 hours later it was back. Needless to say it got away.
