    Opinions on the sex of these snakes.

    Had a good day at the farm yesterday. Caught 18 snakes total. I am keeping these 3 for a bit. I was thinking that #1 is a male, #2 a female and #3 female. What does everyone else think?20170629_014744.jpg20170629_014620.jpg20170629_014511.jpg

    Challenging looking at 1 and 2 but I think they are both male. Number three strikes me as female though.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

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

    Here are a few more pics. This snake is fairly young. Maybe that is why it is harder to determin the sex. I am leaning towards a female.20170629_101909.jpg20170629_101800.jpg20170629_101738.jpg20170629_101039.jpg20170629_101026.jpg

    Thanks for the additional photos. Wide head structure and a girthy body and a good tail shot. Female.

    Thanks for the replies. I will let the male go sometime in July and keep the females. The little gal had her first rat pinkie in captivity. She should grow good.
