My valley garter snake, which I believe she was born in June or July, is only 7 grams. I feed her every 2-3 days and she has not shed. Humidity is right, and she did have some foggy eyes in October, but nothing. She also has a small wound on the side of her stomach that has been healing. Any tips?

What are you feeding her and how much at a time?

I try to mix it up, from worms to asf rat tails, and white crappy fish(does not have thiamines), and I try to give her a good amount each feeding.

Do you have any photos to show her overall size & body condition?

Body condition looks good, honestly I wouldn’t necessarily be too worried. I haven’t kept that subspecies, but I have kept commons and my own records show similar weights for that age. Is it at all possible she shed and you just didn’t find the skin?

That is a possibility, but there was a period were she was on paper towels. I appreciate the help! I’ve seen some of your listings and you have some amazing morphs!

One more thing, I believe she is trying to Brumate right now

Always happy to help out, and thanks! As long as your enclosure temperatures are steady, it’s unlikely she’d brumate, however if they are trending colder, it could make her less active.
