    Re: Sexing a young Checkered Garter

    I would say female at this point but agree the snake needs to be a little older to nail it down.
    How old is this snake?
    The reason I ask is the belly button is still very prominent. Seems to also take up too many belly scutes and I'm wondering why it is discolored.
    How many times has this snake shed?

    I would think female too, but as already stated, it's hard to say with babies.

    Hmm..It says "she" is 5 months old, is that too old to still have a belly button?
