Re: How to tell the sex
Welcome aboard.
You can sex them by adult size and the shape of the tail. If it's a female, the tail should taper off relatively abruptly at the cloaca. On a male it's more gradual and there might even be a bit of a bulge behind the cloaca.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: How to tell the sex
Oh, if it were only this easy. You're right, Greg when you said over exaggerated.
