Generally reptiles live a long time considering how little energy they use because they are cold blooded. An estimate of a Garter snake (and thank you for not calling it a Garden snake) is up to about 10 years if properly cared for.

those quite common snakes can stay as a lot as ten yrs., with maximum residing round 5-7yrs. they don't look to be an particularly massive snake, yet can boost over 4ft actual & are quite muscular and flow instantly. The youthful snakes eat earthworms, small fish(minnows), small frogs, tadpoles and are quite ordinary to transform to pre-killed mice of the properly desirable length as they boost in length. do not feed them an all fish food plan, as became stated above , as this may reason a severe nutrition deficiency contained in the snake. you promises them some fish, yet determination their food plan & you'll have an particularly healthful snake. have interesting!
