Unless you plan on breeding them, there's no reason to, just pick a gender to call it.
If you really need to know, there are several methods. The only method I would recommend without veterinary assistance is not very accurate unless you've had allot of practice, and that is to compare then length of the tail past the cloaca, males usually have longer, more slender tails. The other methods are 'popping' and 'probing', but unless you are experienced this is best left to a breeder or vet.
This would most likely be a baby black rat snake. Until adulthood their markings strongly resemble a diamondback rattlesnake. They will often mimic the coiled strike pose of a rattler and even wiggle their tail. I can tell you from personal experience this is an effective method of scaring off predators.
Yes, but it is a freak anomaly like say, Siamese Twins or a Girl with three breasts.
How much room do you have? How much money do you have? No lizard will act like a puppy, but most are cool to keep. Iguanas are popular and easy to care for, but they get big. Geckoes are cool but they get out if you're not careful. Talk to a pet store and see what will work for you as far as easy to care for and size - some lizards get large.
It is difficult to provide an exact number, but the eastern indigo snake is considered a threatened species with population declines. Conservation efforts are being made to protect and restore their habitats to help increase their numbers in the wild.
You cannot determine if a snake is poisonous based on its tail scales. The presence of venom glands and fangs are better indicators of a snake's venomous nature. It's safest to assume all snakes are potentially dangerous and to give them space.
Take it to your vet and have them probe it.
ask a vet
Male and female rattlesnakes look very similar. Only a snake keeper with a lot of experience would be able to tell the difference in gender without probing the snake. The length, width and taper of the tail would give a trained keeper a good idea of gender.
Unless you know what your doing it's pretty impossible to tell any type of snakes gender. The only 100% way is to breed but other then that a proffesional can either pop or prob the snake
Our snake scientist just stepped out, but I have studied natural science my whole life, and I can tell you with 100% surety: The Black Racer (Eastern Coluber Constrictor), is NOT a venomous snake.

no
boas and constrictors are the largest of snake species. if a snake is wider than your arm, it is most likely a boa

you tell me
they start molting
If you translate the lines on the whiteboard in the HQ it will tell you where the snake points are
