Sexing help? (Didn't want to post in someone elses thread)

I would say the larger snake is female and the smaller is male. The only one I question is the smaller one as a better under tail photo is needed. I can't really say which species they are from your photos.
You are correct about the toads. I would also caution you about feeding mice(fur bearing) Pinkies are safer in my opinion as they don't have fur which can cause impaction.
Here is a link to the care sheet which will give you much information. Why not feed some night crawlers?

How can you tell? My friend just brought down her other 4 (she's going to let me pick which ones i want^^) and we've "confirmed" one female (i'll take a pic but she's large, very thick with a short kind of "stumpy" looking tail, so female right?) and then two little ones, about 6-7 inches, and then the last is the size of the larger one before. I think i'm going to take pictures of all of them tomorrow full body and then underside for help, but i am trying to figure it out on my own haha

so 1 is the one that we are pretty sure is a female, the very tip of her tail looks like its gone but it doesn't seem like her tail was much longer than that.

I think 2 is a male <guessing (his vent is right by my fingers in that picture if you can't really see it)

the two middle pictures are two of the snakes, the left is number 5 and the right is number 1, are these common garters? (if you can tell, pictures aren't great)
