I'm led to believe that they can live to anything from 10 to 15 years, and an adult is usually 3-4 feet long. They reach maturity at something like 3 years, I think.

Garters live for around 8-10 years. As a general rule, smaller, more active species generally have a shorter life span than the bigger, more lethargic species.

And if you have been offered a pair, go for it. Esay and cheap to keep, yet sadly overlooked!
