Just a quick question about sexing. Eddie my corn has never been sexed, and 'he' is almost 2 years old. I am just wondering if anyone could give advice on how to sex the corn visually? I don't particularily have any desire to have 'him' probed because I don't intend on breeding but I am curious.
Any help would be good.
Thanks. |

If you post a pic of his tail from the bottom we can have a look, just make sure his tail is streched out and straight. Sexing a corn from its tail isnt very accurate though.
A good rep shop will probe the snake for free, and if done properly it wont stress the snake at all. |

| you can get a rough guide by the shape of the end of the tail, if it continues to a steady poit its prob a male and if its sorta got a rounded lump around an inch or two from the end of thetail its prob a female (theres a slight chance i got that the wrong way round but if so i think ill be corrected!! lol) |

I think I will have to leave it be... although, I probably should try to find out what sex he is. I hate to think I will have a snake with identity issues! lol.
I do think the whole sexing thing is very tricky, it is no wonder that there are so many unexpectedly gravid females!  |
