    Gender

    Funny request, but if I were to post pictures of my snakes "vent"(as I've seen it being referenced as here) would anyone be interested/willing to give me their best shot at "his" gender. I'm calling "him" a "him" because from what I've read, I'm guessing that's the correct gender, but I don't acutally have any experience in knowing what I'm looking at

    No problem. Just get a good picture of the underside of his tail.

    Here's a link to a thread that will teach you how to visually sex your snake and show you the kind of photos to post.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Not a funny request at all...we ask people to post pics of their snake's vents all the time so that we can determine the sex.

    Hey thanks Steve for the link to that thread.

    Here's the best I can get. And now after looking at all those pictures I'm thinking "he" might be a "she."

    Also I got a couple better pictures of him, would any one like to tell me what they think he is? I'm really mostly assuming "it"(for now) is t.proximus orarius because I live by the gulf coast.

    Hope all these pictures are good enough. I'm using the cam on my laptop.

    Male all the way. Vent, head and body structure.
