    i disagree i think it looks more male

    When I saw the photos I thought female and from the overall size and girth I still think it's a female. I'm basing my assumptions on my dealings with Radix. Looks too overall large to be a male and I don't see any enlargement south of the vent like I do on the males I deal with.

    Re: FINALLY! lol.... is she a girl or a boy??

    hardly any of my males are enlarged past their vents
    perhaps I just have males with small organs?
    I've not really had time to sit down and stare at the photos, which is why I didn't post
    I tend to agree with Kevin though
    however - I have also decided to take two of my garters to Sean to have probed, because my marcianus male is what I think of as large for a male, and
    the infernalis that's going to Shannon seems smallish, although I don't have any females that age to compare her to - details later
    but all of my females have a distinct sudden narrowing at the vent, and I don't see that in this photo

    I could be way off, but it seems to me that in males I usually see at least two sets of divided ventral scales the same width as the last undivided scale above the cloaca. This snake seems to taper uniformly from the cloaca on? I need lots more practice at this! Keep throwing out thoughts & opinions guys!

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    it could be a male with a small package to put it politly lol every snake is different but i dont think that it tapers enough from the cloaca to be a female so thats why i think a measurement of her body length would determine this
