    it's hard to tell, but it looks to me like a young male because I don't see much of a taper. Young garters are a little harder to visually sex than adults. I'm pretty sure it's a male though.

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

    He's just not well endowed like some of the other adult males!

    Looking at the photo I see male in the head/neck structure and overall body symmetry.

    I would agree with everyone on male just because of the taper
