Hey Pikiemikie, not disagreeing with you, but completely out of curiousity. How can you tell that is a female from that picture? Thanks, Tom

He's probably saying its a female by the size of the snake in the photo. Female garters tend to be larger and stockeir than the males. I also would say its a female.
