Guessing by tail lenght, I'd say female as well...of course, that's just a guess, the only accurate way to tell is probing, and a photo is much harder to take a stab at by tail length than seeing it in person.

hey bwsmith.

don't worry, this isn't the snakes home. i did isolate it in here for the pictures and to examine her for any external parasites. she's in my hot rack now. trust me, i know the dangers of aquariums and screen lids. i knew i should have said something in the first post. thanks for the concerns!
