Sex Confirmation

[kimbosaur]

Up until recently, I thought I had two girls. Now my albino kind of looks like a boy. Thoughts please! :D

Finally, I'm pretty sure this girl is still a girl?

Nice pair. Boy first, girl second.

[ConcinusMan]

correct on both accounts IMO. boy. girl in last pic.

[EasternGirl]

I agree...the first pic is undoubtedly male...second pic female.

Are these T.marcianus? Checkered garter snakes.

[Invisible Snake]

I agree with my fellow garter enthusiasts, the first 4 pics looks like a boy and the last pic is a girl IMO.

[Light of Dae]

I concur with everyone above, Boy then Girl.

[kimbosaur]

This whole time I thought I had two females. The difference in sex would explain their difference in personality and size I think.


Are these T.marcianus? Checkered garter snakes.

Yes they are both Marcianus.

Were they purchased at the same time from the same place?
Is there a chance they are related(close)?

[kimbosaur]

As far as I'm aware, they are not related. The normal was purchased from a reptile shop in Toronto and the albino was purchased from a breeder in a small town about an hour's drive away.

Either way, I don't plan on breeding so I think I might have to think of new living arrangements soon. :rolleyes:

You saw where I was going with my questions.;)
Sounds like you have it worked out.
