Hey I think I found Casper a Boy Toy!!! Tonight while working in my back yard I found this sweetie!!!! I've been praying for a mate for Casper from her own neighborhood and hopefully you nice folks can tell me what to do now that I might have found one :-) Here are some photos of the underside and hopefully they are good enough to sex it. I'm a little afraid after being bit by Casper and I don't know this snake very well but it looks like a regular Garter Snake to me. I have it in a fish bowl and I was going to put some screen with a wire around the top to secure it and then put it in with Casper but with the fish bowl as a barrier. This is due to an unfortunate incident with a cute little frog I though would be a good companion for Casper last week. But that we will not speak of anyway this snake is smaller then Casper so I assume much younger and Casper is a bit aggressive since she bit me so I'm not going to put it in with her without a barrier for now. Correct???? But tonight I have nothing else to put the other snake into and everyone in my house is freaking out a little so hoping I get approval for this idea with window screen on fish bowl as a lid and into Caspers tank. Ok here are the photos Hope it's a boy!IMG_5084.jpgIMG_5083.jpgIMG_5085.jpgIMG_5088.jpgIMG_5095.jpg

IMG_5104.jpgIMG_5103.jpga couple more photos of the underside. I notice a white kinda split. I think it looks different then Casper so I hope it's a boy. Anyway I've been thinking it over and reading more post and since I'm afraid Casper might eat him if he gets out of the fish bowl I'm going to put him in my shed tonight and hope for the best. Looking forward to hearing from someone soon. If it's a boy I will get another tank and wait till he's bigger or older?? I donno what to do here. But I figure quarantine is safer for now. He's so much tamer then Casper. I don't know how Casper got so aggressive since she bit me I do admit she must smell the fear on me. LOL!

The photos you posted don't give me a good enough look for me to sex the snake. I think since Casper is such a special snake you need to keep the new snake away from her for at least 90 days. Quarantine this new snake to be sure you're not introducing something that could harm Casper. Quarantine is very important for all new snakes and for the continued good health of currant snakes.
I don't think cannibalism is much of a problem with T. ordinoides.

Side by side meeting very interested in each other. I assume they can smell each other cause she left her dinner and became more interested in the smells outside her tank. It really shows the size difference in each other too. Caspers face is just dirty cause she jumped into her snack bowl. IMG_5136.jpgIMG_5145.jpgIMG_5155.jpgIMG_5181.jpg

OK Thanks Steve tomorrow after I get home from work I will take more photos of it's underbelly hopefully I can get a good shot. Also I'm going to keep the other snake away from Casper. I was reading the Quarantine Thread but didn't get as far as the 90 day part. I only put them side by side for a couple photos. I gave the other snake a couple pieces of worm but not interested. I'm sure cause of all the commotion of capture. I will release it if it's a girl and keep searching for Caspers mate. My family isn't too keen on 2 snakes in the house especially a dark one. That is strange but Casper didn't really scare anyone being lite in color and now she's more aggressive then the dark one. Go figure! LOL! I like the new one it's so sweet and easy going. But even Casper was a stranger at one point so I can't wrap my head around the fear thing. Anyway tomorrow new photos and I will Quarantine. Thank You Nite nite

Don't be too concerned about the size difference. If the male is sexually mature it doesn't matter how big the female is, he'll take care of his business.
Once you have the new home for this snake he'll settle in and probably start eating. Being in a small glass bowl with no hide is pretty stressful.

I will say male. The longer I look at the photo the more I second guess myself. I don't see the clear cut signs of it being a male but the tail does stay wide for 6 to 7 scales. That is a tough one.
