Although, I've only seen this guy so far. He might have a girlfriend, dunno. Never saw a bunch of juvies in my yard though. Maybe I should just have him moved to the other side of the lake.
Hard to visually sex, but here is just a little guess, your little "dude" is probably a chick. In the nerodia world, chicks are fat and large and dudes are little and skinny.

"Tend to start out aggressive" doesn't cover it. Wild Caught animals are born evil and stay evil. The musk will chase you out of the house.
