    We can usually tell visually by a year regardless, how they feed, how they perch, personality, etc By 2 years there is usually no question. However for people who aren't experienced, the presence of sperm plugs are a nice way of telling. We just purchased an unsexed 4 year old that we were not sure if he was female or not. It was either a very overweight male or very small female. But personality and feeding response said male. Perching said female...although part of that was the extra "fluff" So we simply waited for the shed...and there were the plugs. Some breeders can tell by tail length, shape, etc but that involves a bit of "harassing the snake" haha and I personally have not checked out enough tails to be able to verify that way.

    As my finace told me when we first met.....it's easy to sex baby chondros....just hold a credit card above their head...whichever one strikes at the card is a female.....
