Can someone tell if this is male or female?

Ok, i know i should probably have this one probed. But according to some sites, it's possible to tell the sex of the snake just by looking at it ( specially if the the person is like, used to it .) Anyways, just thought it would be a good experiment if you guys tell me what you think is the gender of the albino boa and explain why so I could confirm or bust the "myth" haha

male just guessing.

It's not a boa and you can't tell from that picture what gender it is.

It's a male... unless it's a female..
It's one or the other..
:D

The only way that I know of is by probe or popping.
Other than that its just a guess.
Sorry wish I could help

That isn't a Boa.

Yeah not a boa, but sometimes you can get an idea of male or female based on the girth of the tail past the cloaca, Im going to guess that Is a female based on how narrow the tail is past the cloaca (no room for hiding hemipens in there) but just a guess

I have never heard that you can tell the difference between a male/female from just looking at it...

And that is an albino BURMESE PYTHON...it'll get over 15ft + just so you know :) I just got my first burmese, normal 100% het albino and granite. Not everyone seems to research them before getting them :)

Hey guys!

@snakelady, yes dear, i know what it is ( which is why i put it in the "giants" section =))
@everyone who said it's not a boa, I didn't know it was "possible" too. And i was a little skeptical about what i was reading. I'll post you guys the link as to where I got the nifty little piece of data. And yes, jjmitchell, the article did say something about that cloaca- pretty much like the girth and length of a boa's tail when sexing it visually.

Add more input! i'll tell you guys what it is in a while =))

MAle Burm, I am going with t he tail but by the length since the hemi's lay down, then there is space for them also he is young hemi's arent that big right now, so there is even more room.

Right on, When you pop a good number in a day you "can" get a "feel" for what it "might" be by the bulk in the tail..If your talking colubrids a person can tell by looking at the animals tail but when you step into the boids its highly unlikely..
ALTHOUGH there maybe "A" person or 2 in the world that has the "GIFT" :D
