Male or Female

[Kurly1]

Can someone tell me if our snake is a male or female from this pic?

Thanks!

This one appears to be a male.

Great. My son John is very happy.He said he would be happy either way but even more happy if Kurly was a boy.

I agree
looks like a male

[Kurly1]

thanks! The more confirmation we receive the happier my son is. His smile is as wide as the smile at the beginning of this post!

Well, I will make him even more happy. My guess is also: MALE.

whoooooohooooo!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!! This is his first pet and nothing at all against female snakes but if you could see the smile on my son's face then you would know why I am so happy for him. Sort of like when a man finds out that his first child is a boy

Let your son keep on smiling!
It is really clear to me too that it is a male.
But what kind of garter is it?

[drache]

I believe we determined that he's a marcianus

Here is a pic of Kurly. I have a few more that have been posted and I have been told that he is a Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis (Eastern Garter Snake)
