    Re: My first Garter

    I've decided to give it a few days to settle in and calm down. Its a little flighty right now so I'll let him/her work out that I'm a good guy first. I'll be sure to get them up soon though

    I did get a couple of photo's before anyone said underside though, one of its size and one of the top of the tail. I know they won't help but here they are anyway.

    Waiting is probably best. Good call.
    Here's a link to a thread that will help you sex the snake yourself or show you what kind of photos to post.

    awesome looks to be pretty much the same as kings and corns/rats. Shouldn't be a problem. Thanks

    Honestly you don't need to get it probed. Garters are really easy to sex.

    Re: My first Garter

    I also think that probing with garters can be unreliable, because not many people even do it. Just my opinion.
    And, it'd just stress the poor little guy out.
