sex of snakes

Is thier any way to figure out the sex of blood pythons? (thorns, tail length, body size, head size, etc.) that would not involve probing the snake, and how old should a blood python be before it is probed by a vetenarian? How old does python curtus have to be before they can breed?

Cash,

Technically theres no real way of sexing a snake without probing or popping. although with many snakes its possible to take into consideration spurs, tail length, tail thickness, etc... and make an assumption and be accurate.
Many experienced keepers can make good guesses, because it takes a while of working with many of the same species to pick up on the characteristics that each sex holds.

Bloods can usually be probed or popped shortly after hatching, so yours are ready anytime assuming u can get a n experienced person to do it that wont harm the snake.

Females are best bred 4 yrs+ males can be bred round 2+, although the older they are , the better chances they have of producing for you.
