hi there, ive just replied to your other post, how old is ur corn? and id leave sexing to a reptile specialist as its probing the right areas and if done wrongly could be fatal! |

you can tell by there tails sometimes too. Males tend to have tails that elongate more, while female tails thin out more quickly. I won a bet sexing my corn this way, but only because I compared her to another corn that I knew was definately a male. You need a comparison to work with, and even then it's not a 100% method
Grace is a good name. The sex doesn't really matter unless your planning to mate he/she anyway. Then, I'd take her to a breeder or shop owner to be probed.
