Depends on sex and species. The most popular is the Western, in which females are usually close to two and half feet and males are often less than one and half. They’re a lot beefier than that makes them sound though. A hognose compared to a garter snake the same length is like comparing a miniature bulldog to a wiener dog.

Can anybody give a figure on actual weight? Bebe is starting to lengthen more slowly but she’s getting a bit girthier; at fifteen months she’s now around the 300 gram mark. Still just under except on a full stomach, but even empty she’s over 280. But what should her eventual adult weight be, like 4 or 5? Lengths and general builds of snakes get mentioned a lot more than their weights do.
