Pictures of my snake

This is the garter snake I caught last week. I'm still not sure whether it's a boy or a girl. Can anybody help? I know probbing is the most accurate way to tell, but there's no place to get it probbed around here. And I don't know anyone who owns snakes.


^-This was right after I caught it, and it was tame already.


^-Curled up on my bed with its little head poking out. So cute.


^-This was me trying to get a tongue pic and failing.


^-And a tail pic, hopefully someone can tell if it's male or female? I hate to keep calling it an it.

I could be totally backwards on this one.. but i thought males had the longer tail so they can wrap around the female to mate.. So id say "its" a little "fella"!! did you get a name yet??

I counted the scales below the vent and I got 64 pairs. I dont know if this is any help. And the snake is a little over 2 ft in length.

No, I didn't name it yet. I wanted to wait till i find out whether it's a boy or a girl. I thought about giving it a neutral name, but I couldn't think of any good ones.

Hope this link helps... Looks like a female when compared to this sites illustrations of using tail appearance to sex garter snakes... Since you can see the tail better than a pic can show, you should be able to tell a little better...
