    From what I can see, I'm going with female.
    That first photo is a little deceptive in that the width of the tail is smaller than the width at the cloaca(vent).
    Then it gets a little wider for only 4 scales. Not pronounced like most males.
    Of course, if I'm wrong than I would say it's a male
    Just my opinion.

    I know I'm late, but I would also say 'female', without a doubt.

    I'm in the Boise area. This is my first snake (after years of wanting one) and I'm already hooked and trying to decide what my next one is going to be!
