the males generally have longer tails ;)

the ONLY 100% sure fire guarantee of sex is seeing a males hemipenes or seeing a female laying eggs ;)

what 'it' states this?

think it is getting it the wrong way round..............and it's a sweeping generalisation........... 100% proof is as per eeji's reply but as hannah and hiper have suggested, getting an experienced person to pop or probe the snake for you is a good guide..........

If you are planning on breeding then obviously you need to know the sex, but if you have just bought your snake as a pet is it worth putting it through the stress of probing just to find out if it is male or female?
