Female or male

[Drperetz]

I know there is alot of tutorials on how to determin snakes sex but does any1 know any other easier way of telling wheather its a boy or a girl?

Pop or probe. Period. That's it. There is simply no other way to PROPERLY determine the sex of one's snake.

You should not do either without someone experienced to show you how. With popping, if done incorrectly, you may mistake a male for a female even if you don't injure the snake. It's not as much of a problem as with hatchling green tree pythons persay, which can develop a kink in their tail even when done properly. However, you will definitely want somebody experienced to show you how to do it. The same goes for probing; firstly you will need a set of probes and there is a risk of injuring the snake when not done properly.

Actually if you take a couple snakes and look at there tail's, the snakes have to be of the same size, you will notcie that the tail's of males are short and fat, female's have long tail which taper.

Isn't it the other way around? Males longer and tapered and females shorter and clumsier?

[Jeff_Favelle]

"Clumsier"?? Huh?

[mannannan]

Sorry for the crappy english there hehe... I meant fatter, more chubby-looking... 'Turnip-shaped' is the word that I most recently heard it described as hehe...

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

Its still not accurate.

ha ha, ok I get that now. No worries bro! :) Sometimes. Its really hard to sex BP's that way. Their tails are sooooo short as it is. I could never do it anyways, and I've tried with a couple hundred animals! Probe or pop for me.

Let us know how it works out
