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)
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.
