help me identify the gender and tounge problem

hello my burmese python seem healthy but when he flicks hes tounge i only see the last part of it sticking out the last part of the fork.
I also have no idea what gender it is. i hear ppl can see gender by looking on the tail. i took some pictures. some might be blurry.

The only way to truly know your snakes gender is by getting him probed or popped (not sure if he's too big for this yet) by someone who knows what they're doing.

This is normal. If you really want to know the animal's sex, I would either call the seller or get it popped/probed by a veterinarian. Speaking of the seller, why don't you contact them and ask for information about keeping the animal? If they sold you a Burm instead of a corn snake, you might be able to confront them and potentially swap out your animal, assuming he even has corns.

Thx but I wouldnt trade my snakes for anything. On the papers it said 0.0.1 witch is unknown sex. so that wierd tounge flickering is normal with only the end of fork sticking out?

Sometimes you get a long tongue flick and sometimes just a little one, nothing to worry about there.

Yes it is normal. Are the burm and the boa your only snakes?

Take him to the vet for sexing if you are in question. And I wouldn't trust what the breeder said as far as I could throw him if he did in fact label this burm as a corn snake lol. Bet the breeder was pretty surprised when his 'corn snakes' grew to 13' and ate rabbits lol.

As for tongue, like other mentioned, the tongue isn't going to be something like a monitor. Its going to be short quick flicks. The only thing to watch for is if the forks stick together which can be a sign of RI.

It's a little flick. Sometimes they only flick a little.
