My brother found a garter snake (1975), brought her home and gave her the nicest terrarium equipped with natural plants and running water. Several months later, we spot a teeny, tiny snake head. Then another one! And then another,... And another,... And it just kept going! There were over a dozen baby garter snakes!
It wasn't until years later that I discovered they can temporarily cease development, for up to two years, until conditions are right. And boy did my brother give her a nice place to have her babies, so she did!

Because she was never pregnant, y’all are just fat shaming the girl.

Rest in peace Charlotte

It would end up being quite sad if they came out dead, especially after all the hype in the beginning!😳

Some animals have the ability to absorb their litters when conditions are too stressful. This may be what happened to Charlotte.

Update

[@melissasaga173]

Never pregnant

[@SavageMinnow]

She passed away 😢

[@snorebore4227]

It was a reproductive disease. She was never pregnant. Charlotte ended up dying.
