This is the only male I'm keeping and I'm sure you can see why!

I'm new to this... how am I doing with sexing with tail length? I hope I got it right!

Could easily be a girl. How does she/he probe out? Tail is long but v's out past the vent. Also has wide girth above the vent.
You may want to hang onto another male just in case.

I haven't probed any of the young. I don't have a probe set nor any experience in doing so. If I get tail pictures of all seven, will that help?

yes, this will help

like Kevin sad, killer pattern

I'd like to find out just what sex this guy before I decide what to do with the other males.

Some further pictures of this little guy:

All the same snake?
If so, can you send some sib ventral pics, that may help to hone down on which is male or female.

All where off the same snake. (I've named him '4').

This is the underside of all 7 less than a week after hatching. I've also posted what sex I thought they were:

Female

Female

Female

Male

Male

Female

Male

I think that you pegged it pretty well on that rundown based on the obvious females there.

I don't deal with Hognose (NA milks, mostly) and was curious if there's a reason that these can't be 'popped' to determine gender.

Yes they can. That is my preferred method with hatchlings.
