It's really not hard to do, a little less obvious when they are under 10 grams but still if you know what you are doing there should not be any issue. To me if you breed to sell that is one of the first thing you should learn.
Anyway it's that easy

Oh wow, I didn't know it was like that! So you don't have to probe them or anything? Just look at the ends of the tails? Learn something new everyday [emoji4]

Nope I breed hognose and I have never probed or popped a hognose ;)
Tail sexing with this species is VERY accurate and is the way breeders sex them, as I mention when they are tiny 5/6 grams is not as easy but it's like everything else the more you do the better you get at it especially if you compare animals from the same clutch.

To me, it's easier to sex a hognose than other species since you don't have to probe or pop them. Also safer for the snake if you've never popped or probed.

I don't know of many breeders who sell hogs that are less than 10g. I've seen a few but most hold onto them until they are around that 10g mark so the breeder knows they are eating consistently. Picky little things but still awesome.

Re: Cheap hognoses/Good places to buy them
Ok, revisiting this thread! The guy responded saying he can sex his hogs, but doesn't sell lone females unless he has extra. Good news is, I'm on someone's waiting list! I may get a baby conda girl, but she isn't eating by herself yet. Also, there are other people in front of me, so if they don't back out I won't get her. As a backup plan, have you ever heard of "Crag Top Hognose"? I love the prices... I've thought about it and I would be willing to get a male. This website has multiple males for $100-!

Thank you :)
