Is this a male?

The snake in the pic is my biggest one and just over 3ft. I went ahead and bought a probing kit and probed her last week after learning how to do it safely and what to look for. She is definitely a she...along with the other that I thought was a boy as well...I now have two confirmed girls and one pastel boy in my collection.:)

What does it look like? A textbook female however like other have said it depends on whether or not you are popping right.

Not knowing are experience you are, are proficient you are at popping no one can really tell for sure.

Best thing if you do not know not very experience with popping is to have someone locally sex it for you and teach you so know how to do it.

And like a few things the more you practice the better you will get at it.

Popping and probing are both kind of inaccurate. You either prove it's a male, or think it's a female. Either the probe goes in deep or you show it's hemipenes.

If the male's genitals show, you have a male, if you probe a male the probe goes in deeper. That means if you pop wrong, or the probe doesnt go in deep enough, then you have a "female" who is really a male.

Uum i know how to probe and able to know the results :rolleyes:.You said they were INACCURATE though.I think you meant accurate ways to determine the gender :gj:

Fine, they arent entirely reliable.

I don't see any hemipenes so my guess is female.
