Tail sexing

I'm the one everyone calls for reptile help in the area, for what little I know I'm still more informed then others.

I live near Spokane, Washington if there is a member close by who can teach me to sex it would be great:)

Now thats a great idea and no one wastes unneeded time :P

Just a guess, but I would say female. That snake looks like if has got some junk in the trunk.

if you don't find someone on here, i would ask around in pet stores.... or you could find a herp vet that could do it. i don't know how that bill would look tho...

I would say girl. but hey what do I know :weirdface and speaking of, I live in Augusta GA any one near me know how to probe or pop? The vet bailed on us here in Augusta so no more sexing :( pm with the answer I dont want to take this thread :P

Here's a link to vets in WA that see "exotics". I'd phone around, ask who can sex your snake and what the costs are. You'll need to know a vet anyways, so this can be a way to meet one and find out the gender of your snake. If the vet isn't charging an office fee, then sexing should be only around $30.00 or less but each vet has their own fee structures.

It doesn't work. Trust me.:D


I tail sexed an animal with a blockage because I didn't want to stress it with probing or popping. I figured it was a male.

It turns out that it was a female. She was probed by the vet when I brought her in for an exam to find out what the blockage in her was.

She has now passed the blockage and I am even more happy about it since unlike the male I thought I had, I now have a female to raise up.

I posted an inquiry on the Pets section of my local Craigslist and got some help sexing my corns a couple of months ago. It took about a week of asking, but finally someone answered.

BTW, how old is yours and how much does it weigh? Just curious. :P

Thanks for the link, I've already spoken to most of the vets around that will see exotics and I don't think I would trust any of them. I'll keep checking though.

I never thought about using craigslist, I don't know if I would trust some random person to probe my snake.

if there is a college near by you can try and call their biology dept. nd see if anyon studies/keeps snakes. i work in a biology lab at eastern michigan university and besides me there is about 3 others in my lab alone that keep snakes and could sex them. just a thought
