if anyone thinks they can sex my snake please do lol



I cant wait to give it a name if its a girl she will be called Artemis after the Greek goddess of the hunt and if its male he will be called Apep after the Egyptian god of chaos who was believed to be a giant serpent/snake

I'll say boy! (as a guess) Kinda hard to tell from just tail length though. Reptile shop/vet if your best bet if you want a definite answer.

at that size popping is out of the question, they would probe it this is slightly more accurate than popping

Yeah probing is safe Casey! My two adults were only done a few weeks ago. Both ladies! One of them has unfortunately been called Hugo for 3 years, although Spunk isnt much better for the other one's name haha

popping an adult is pretty much impossible, they get shy and clench! Probing is perfectly safe though, as long as its done by someone who knows what they are doing, otherwise it is dangerous!
When visually sexing, tail length is more or less irrelevant, its all about the shape of the tail from the vent down.
