    Wouldn't that make life so much easier? Sadly, there is no sexual dimorphism in boids. For an accurate sex, pop or probe.

    It's said that males have larger anal spurs, but it's not always 100% accurate. If it were, My Hog Island would be very insecure with his masculinity.

    I have heard that the spurs thing works with Dumeril's, Madagascars, and viper boas which if true would mean it would also work with New Guinea tree boa, Solomon Islands ground boas, Solomon Islands tree boas, Fiji boas, Halmahera ground boas.

    But get someone to show you how. After all, you wouldn't want someone who didn't go to medical school giving you a prostate exam.
