Hey!

[pappy spanks401]

So i just got two checkered garter snakes ones a three month old female, however the other one is an albino and i don"t know how old or what gender it is. I got it from a pet store and took them both to the vet yesterday for a check up but didn't want to get the albino probed because the vet said it could potentially hurt the snake. I was wondering if i post a few pics of it someone experienced could let me know what the gender is. I know its not terribly important I'm just curious. Also i could give it a proper name.

Garters can be sexed pretty reliably with pictures Get a picture of the tail near the vent (also a pic of the head never hurts).

lol, I have several herps with strange names bc of being unable to sex them as babies. Most notably a female frog named Trevor.

Hello, as stated a few focused well lit photos of the under side tail area would be needed for us to help you sex your snake. In the meantime, here's a link to thread that will teach/show you what we will be looking for.
