| Apparently if you candle your snake near the vent you should(or should not) see the hemipenis |

As above :) apparently it only really works on snakes without the black pigment (I read somewhere)
So technically if you candle it's vent area, you should be able to see its 2 bits, and I'd you can't see any it's a girl.
You could do it, come to your conclusion then see if the popper agrees :) |

Blimey sounds a bit hit and miss to me plus if u candly for too long u can damage the eggs from over exposure to hear so i think itd probably be better just to wait till they are old enough to be popped/probed

| I could do this with my amels last year by just holding them up against any light (or just by taking them outside in sunny weather). Doesn't take much as they are so see-through. I could see a lung as well, and could see it inflate and deflate as they breathed. Very fascinating! |

I'm going to try this with Fraggle. No idea what sex he or she is, but we haven't got any sun, so I'll be going for bright LED lights!

| Forgot to mention in my previous post - I pretty much did this before Pinky developed any orange, so there was even less pigment. Might be harder as they get a bit older. |
