Take it to a good reptile shop that will do it for you.
you can do it yourself, its not dangerous if its done right. However, if you dont know what your doing, then its extremely dangerous. |

A tail shape upon picking up isn't an accurate way of sexing, as snakes organs are all internal, the only way would to be either pop or probe, as suggested, take it to your local reptile shop to get it probed/popped.
it's always best to check first, as with my local, the snake fella is only on Friday, and I have to, if i so desire, book an oppointment a week prior.  |

Never heard that method before, and i wcertainly wouldnt trust it at all.
Three is only one way you will be 100% certain on the sex of the snake and that is to pop it, then probe, and i dont recommend you doing that.
The shape of the tail can be an accurate wau to sex, IF you know what you are looking for, i use that method, and so far i havent been wrong.
I always probe too, just a confirmation. |
