    Sexing the new additions

    As some of you may have seen from my other post I recently got 2 more snakes to add to my collection. I believe them to be 1.1 but I am always looking for a second opinion.

    please take a look and let me know what you think (if the pics aren't good enough please let me know)


    I believe this to be the male




    I believe this is a female (the reddish snake from my other post)

    Sorry, it slipped by me.
    The second photo is clearly a female and I would have to say male on the first. 1.1 is a good call.

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

    thank you! I believe the female to be gravid as well. Both snakes were caught a week ago and are now feeding.

    The female does look plump.
    Photos of the babies, remember.

    Re: Sexing the new additions

    I usually stay off of these for this reason... the first one looks like it could be a young female. I have to ask for help myself.
