Welcome back. :)

Maybe we can help you out with the sexing. We need pics of the underside tail area though.

There's a good chance of sexing them visually ;) especially if they're a year or more.

You go into the appropriate catagory such as "welcome lounge" or "husbandry" and click the button at the upper left that says "New topic". Give it a descriptive title.

1st one is a boy. 3rd is also a boy. i'm not sure about the 2nd one. :)

I would have to differ with you on the first. I see a classic female tail. No widening from the cloaca and it's a straight taper.

I'm not going to make a guess on the second photo, Need a better look.

The third photo is male all the way. That classic wide tail, then a taper.

Those are some nice looking snakes. I don't see any skinny at all. They appear very healthy.
Nice job.

[dannyj]

First one is almost unmistakeably female. Possibly, the second is male, the third is male.
