    What species, what sex?

    Here are two new additions to my herp family.

    They were at the Columbus show today, and were marked as "red sided garters".

    I think they are concinnus... does everyone concur?

    I also need help sexing them... I hope I picked out a pair, but I am not as good at this as some of you are... so guess away!

    Here is #1:



    This is #2:

    Definitely looks more like a red-spotted than a red-sided.

    LOL! Which one? There are two.

    I hope that number one is female and number two is male. Number two seems "fuller" behind the vent compared to Number one... but wanted to see what others might think.

    I can't really help with the sexing, but they are pretty little snakes.
