ok i know i ask alot of questions, but you folks seem to have all the awnsers. how do you tell the sex of a garter snake? i know you can probe them, but ive never done it and i dont want to hurt the snake. i was told you can push a certain spot on there belly and if its a male a gland pops out. and i have also been told that if there are double scales past there vent that they are female, and if there are single scales they are male. is that true?
