Spurs

So I just picked up a year old, 4 foot Columbian RTB, and I'm not sure if it's a male or female. I know size of cloacal spurs is a decent indicator, so I was wondering if someone could post pics of a few males' spurs, and those of a few females. I'd appreciate it much! Thanks.

Well....my 7 foot female, has bigger spurs than my 4 foot male....


....just sayin.

Spurs are really not the best way to sex. I recommend finding someone in your area that could possible help you probe your snake.

this!

I haven't been able to find anyone, I've spent my weekend looking. I've called around at some of the local shops, and no one seems to know how :/ . I was going to call the herp vet I used to take my BP's to, but I can't find a number for him anywhere :( There wouldn't happen to be an online directory for vets, would there?

Hi,

Yes there are a couple.

You can also ask members on here who live near you to recommend someone.

Thanks for the links! The second one has turned out to be very useful. THere's a decent list of Ohio based herp vets, and all of them seem to be well revered. Thank you very much! :D
