She made a mess after she ate so sorry about her paper towel so dirty. Her hide thingy makes a mess which I found something better for her to hide in that dont make a mess at all:D

I'm going to make a guess and say male, but it's barely more than a guess. Let's here it experts :) Boy we seem to be demanding of these Garter Gods lately, huh? :)

[Aundrea]

Yes we sure do need them around more often :D

im new but i have gotten pretty good at this and if its the same for garters then im going to say female because the tail tapers way too rapidly

[crzy_kevo]

cmon wayne i know your itchin to tell us

Ok as a general observation.

Boys seldom exceed the diameter of a skinny persons pinky

Girls about the size of a #9 ring finger

Gravid gals about the size of a plump middle digit.

The pictures are hard to tell, nothing to compare size to.

Someone recently posted a pair, look at them.

so then you can't tell the sex of a dekays by the tail?

[infernalis]

so then you can't tell the sex of a dekays by the tail?


Yes, but I find the body structure more obvious.

Say for instance a fully grown female garter compared to a male, one does not need to see the tail.

Dekay's have the same size head, but the neck gets real wide quickly on a female.

[Aundrea]

Do I need to post better pics? :D

[jitami]

Aundrea, pics of the underside, from just above the vent/cloaca to the tail would probably do the trick.

[Aundrea]

Is that where they poo? LOL

[jitami]

Yep! Their reproductive organs are in there, too ;) Sometimes you can tell from the outside whether there are little male parts(hemipenis) in there or not :cool:

[Aundrea]

Ohhh ok then ill just have to take a pic of that. I know its a big long line LOL

[infernalis]

Is that where they poo? LOL
