    Possibly female?

    I'm beginning to suspect Zim is female. S/he was probed a while ago and the man said Zim was most likely female. The probe only went to 4 scales. After seeing some videos on how to probe a corn and also knowing that the female's tail tappers sharply after the cloaca, I really think that Zim is female. His/her tail does tapper rather sharply, but not too much. I know its not a sure thing, going by tail tapper, but I've heard in young snakes its somewhat accurate.


    I can't get a pic up for a few days due to the fact my camera is a few miles from here. I will try to get a pick up.

    Not always true. When you probe a corn snake they can cause you to get incorrect probe depth.Its true they are not as strong as ball pythons but they can still "tighten" that area enough to misread the depth. Or if the person uses a probe to large for the corn snakes size.When you post a pic of her please get the whole area from the vent to the end of her tail. I can determine the sex by looking at a pic( about 85% accurite results lol) as they do differ.If i forget about this post pm me please.
