    Re: Back again

    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.

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