I bet you use one of those plastic tubes. I'm just guessing though.

The plastic tube would be my guess too, but I could definitely be wrong.
They look sweet though either way! Congrats I wish I could keep hots here, if it was legal in my province I'd probably already be apprenticing with someone so I can keep them later.

Yeah, I've seen the plastic tubes used by vets on larger hots. Just seems like an awfully delicate procedure for a little baby, though. Such squirmy little worms! I wonder if there's a youtube video about how to responsibly sex a baby hot? (Not that I want to do it...just curious! LOL)

Tail length Much like a hognose and other various species. Males will have a noticeably longer tail than females. Much too small and delicate to probe right now. When they get older I'll tube and probe just to verify the sex assumptions.

Amazing Hotts I have to say I'm a big fan of rattlesnakes just don't have the mojo to keep one to risky for me and the kids. I guess I'll just have to marvel from afar their incredible.
We would all love to see them as they grow please keep sharing pic's.
