What do YOU think? (Snake gender question)

I know that judging a corn snake's sex by its tail is never really a sure way to determine whether it is a male or female... But August seems to have a tail that looks exactly like Ninja's (who is a for sure male) and she has a tail that is MUCH longer than Vanha's (who is a for sure female). August is a pet store snake and the store couldn't tell us what sex it was, so I brought her to my reptile shop and apparently she popped female...but there's still a possibility of her being male.

I do plan on breeding her when she is of age, so knowing her proper gender is important to me. I think that I'll get her probed sometimes to know for sure, but I'm just looking for your opinions.

Thank you!
 
The first one could go either way but I'm gonna say male, second looks male, third looks female to me LOL I know that doesn't help.
One way I have been able to make guesses about gender is by behavior. As a very general rule, males old enough to breed can go off their food and tend to "pace" their enclosures this time of year. I would suspect a snake that goes on a hunger strike in the spring of being male. Of course this isn't 100 percent accurate but it can be a good clue if you are unable to get the snake probed.
 
I would say Male, Male, Female as well. Although Vanha looks a bit swollen (possibly from a need to poo), so that might be an inaccurate guess. Your best bet is to get them popped or preferably probed when they're of age.
