    Can somebody sex my garter snake?

    Hi,

    I'm new to these forums, and I would like to know the gender of my garter snake, Jerry. I had him/her for five years now. He/she is a wild caught snake ( I know thats bad now, but I didn't then) and he is missing most of his tale (he didn't loose it under my care), so I am really unsure of what gender it is.

    Thanks

    Hi Zack, and welcome to the forum. I'm only going off the first picture, which seems to be the clearest. I think you have a female.

    Another welcome to a great forum. My guess is female also. I base it on the second photo which shows the more defined , rather than gradual taper from vent to tip of tail.
