I’ve never been one to visually sex snakes. However, with this species probing/popping is not necessary. If you run your thumb firmly from the vent towards the end of the tail, you will feel the hemipenes of a male. There may be some other forum members who feel more comfortable identifying the sex of your snake from a photo. You will probably need to take a new photo that shows the underside of your snake’s tail a little more clearly.

Alrighty! Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it

Based on the second photo I would say male due to the long tail length and overall taper after the vent. That is no guarantee buts its my best guess from the photos. Handsome little guy you have there!
