Sexing question

LacunaCobra · 05-13-07, 10:07 PM

I know this is a long shot without having him/her probed, but can anyone take a guess as to what sex he/she might be from the pic? He/she is more "full figured" like my other female. I'm not sure if that makes any difference tho, lol.

I'm confused, but that's ok. I've never had any trouble keeping balls together. Right now there's four of them. No fighting here!

first thing is, you shouldnt house your animals together, there are many reasons why, parasites, feeding routines, keeping acurate records on individual snakes, I could go on but im sure you get the idea, now for sexing the snake, the pic is way to blurry for me to even take a guess, I would suggest going to a reptile store in your area and purchasing a couple more enclosures, im certain they would not hessitate to probe your snake for free when purchasing from there store, good luck and be responsible!

i'm pretty sure its a female only cause of the shortness of its tail (might not make a difference) i also have no idea what sex my coastal carpet python (lil jerry seinfeld) is but he/she has a long thin tail. if anyone has an idea let me know

With balls, there is no accurate way to determine the sex of a snake if you don't either probe it or pop it. Looking at a tail is giving you a 50% chance at best for proper sex determination.
