Planning on expanding my garter collection a bit and before I start housing any more garters together I would like to see if I can determine the sex. don't want any unplanned breeding after all.
Here's the little guy I got back in September took the picture right after feeding so he/she was kinda hard to get a good pic of around the tail area.

Please excuse any hairy legs that may be present in these picutres haha :P

I also have another but that one is a bit more fiesty so I'll see about getting tail pics after he/she finishes eating.

edit: Pics of the other snake

I'm thinking the first is a male and the second is female:confused: Straight tail pics would help if possible.

Second pic in the second post looks male. I'll sit on the fence with the other, but my first instinct was female.

I'm going both female. No guarantees, I'm kinda just testing myself.
