This thread is for the sole purpose of posting photos of confirmed sexed snakes. *Do not post guesses*

Keep this thread free of comments or chat.
Quality, focused photos, only.
Confirmation of sex should have come from personal observation of at least one of the following:
Probing, birthing or mating with visual confirmation of copulation.
All secondhand information is unacceptable.
With your photo include the following information:Species and/or subspecies, Sex.
Optional data could include.Age, length, weight.
An additional photo that depicts relative size could be included and would be helpful.

This thread can become the benchmark for sexing Thamnophis. Firsthand confirmation is paramount to its integrity.
