    You have it "probed" by an experienced vet or keeper. That is the safest and most sure way to tell.

    Re: Male or Female

    You can also pop a snake. (although I'm still struggling with this method, but I'm determined to figure it out!!!)

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    Re: Male or Female

    I wonder how many vets out there will pop. It seems like probing isn't 100%, for example I have a supposed female that probes to 5, but I haven't had her popped. It would seem that popping would be more accurate because you can actually see the equipment instead of guessing at an "iffy".

    Re: Male or Female

    And what they all said...probing or popping. Popping is more effective when snakes are young before they gain the muscle control which makes it less effective and possibly harmful to the snake.
