Male or female?

I just got a new hatchling, and I was wondering if anyone has a good guess about whether it is male or female based on these pictures. I don’t want to hurt it by probing or popping incorrectly, but I’d like to give it a name to match its gender. I was so positive my other corn was a male until “he” laid a clutch of slug eggs, so clearly I’m not good at figuring it out on my own.

Yeah, unfortunately it's really hard to guess when they're so tiny. If you have a breeder, reptile specialty store, or reptile vet near you, they can sex it professionally. The reptile store near me only charges $5 for snake sexing.
 
Thanks. I figured I couldn’t tell for sure yet. I was thinking female, so I think I’ll go with a gender neutral name but use “her” as the pronoun until proven otherwise.
