Question about sexing by tail shape

[J.J.]

I was wondering, if you were to visually sex a snake by its tail. isn't it short and stubby= male, and long and thin= female, at least thats what my science teacher told me! Let me know please! Your paleo, :rsmile: Jeanette :rsmile: *a.k.a.* J.J.

Negative.

The most accurate way to tell is have it probed...
some pics of the snake could be useful for people online to tell ya.
Give it a go :)

a look at Corey Wood's female blood gives an extreme example of the idea you are asking about. In many breeds the post-vent change remains a smooth gradual reduction on the male animal, the female has a more notable transition at the vent area with a noticible size reduction and thinning. The variations in tail of both sexes is wide enough that there can be good amounts of overlap making this less than accurate especially with young animals. Popping, if you can get an actual view of the hemi-***** is accurate, but no hemi-***** showing doesn't guarantee a female. Probing like said is the prefered method and is usually accurate, but someone with no experience runs a problem of rupturing a female and getting fasle male readings or be to tentative at the entrance on the male and getting a false female reading. Little is 100%. This reminded me of a tiny research problem I want to post lol.

alright thats outright discrimination, I can't type ***** but I can type vagina. Male anatomy has proper names too just cuz us he-men use it to occasionaly insult a person is no reason for this insult lol (I know going in to type the other v word shows I have too much time on my hands lol)
