well i believe he is a she also because i was told their tail from the butt hole to the end of the tail is longer then its a female if its shorter than its a male. spot's is pretty long so im thinking its a she. so i might have to change the name. i had like ten garters last year and two of them were pregnant and i gave them away. they were fatties. they ate like three worms a day! Ill be getting more garters soon when the weather warms up a bit.
