    Question Gender?

    Could someone please tell me the gender of my three garters? I've made plenty of guesses but would like to know for sure. Thank you.

    The top one is Haydn, a new addition. I can't make up my mind. My first guess was male though.

    The second is Wagner. I guessed he was male. A part of her/his tail is missing and he/she has a weird squishy, lumpy spot above the vent.
    Could the lumpy spot be an indication of worms? I posted a picture of it in my album.

    The third one is Bizet. My guess is female.

    1 and 2 are boys for sure.
    If I had to take a stab at 3 I'd say male as well.

    my guess would be #1 and #3 - male, #2 - female, but I'd really like to see a little more - like a segment beginning about 1.5-2" above the vent

    Re: Gender?

    Thank you everybody!
    I guess I may have to make some changes if I ever want to breed them. Oh well.
