Nice! Does that one have that much red or is it just my eyes and a reflection off the mulch?

Very lovely!! Just love easterns...and it's so interesting how they can have so many color variations. My one male is very brown with darker brown spotted areas...Cee Cee was a lighter brown. Their babies are darker like the father. My other male is greenish. And Izzy...well, she is getting ready to shed but it looks to me like she has some red/orange in her...is that right Shawn?

thnx Steve. and ME TOO! thats why she is in there. :D love her grey

[BLUESIRTALIS]

By the girth it looks like it might be a young female. Can you post a pic on the underside of the tail?

[slipknot711]

i know my other is a female, this one i couldnt tell, but it was still new so i didnt want to stress it out. But ill try to get my bf to get a couple pics of that for you.if not during the day by tonight i will get them. thank you! young? really? she is huge! lol

[devilmask]

10629 I hope that is good enough to tell, the snake did not like that one bit lol. Both snakes are pushing if not already two feet long

[slipknot711]

thnx for the picture. not the best photo lol but they are sassy. and i still cant tell what it is!!!!!!!! maybe these professionals will be able to :D

[guidofatherof5]

Hope you don't mind I rotated the photo to give us a proper view.
I say female but the longer I look at it the more I second guess myself. I think the issue is it's not in focus.
I'll stay with FEMALE...........for now.:D

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Agreed! It's hard to tell by the pic, but i still say female at this point. Ashley what do mean by huge is the snake over 2' long or bigger around than a quarter cause a male garter shouldn't be that big?

[devilmask]

we have two of the chubbiest garters i have ever caught...i still stand firm that they are both gravid....but what do i know...also i can see them basking straight right now definately over 24"...
thanks for the help all :)

[slipknot711]
