Hello! I just got this beautiful baby shipped to me. It was sold as a female. But, upon further inspection, it looks like it might be a male. This is my very first snake, so I was hoping to get a second opinion from experienced snake enthusiasts. See attached picture

Welcome to the community! If you could post better pictures of the tail it could help for visually identifying it.

Do these help? I just put her/him in the tank and I don’t want to disturb her/him for a few days.

Looks like a girl to me. It’s quite wide at the base with a quick taper. Most boys will have much longer tails.
