Has enyone idea of sexing the snake by counting
their scales??
For example:
Boa Constrictor females: 50 scales
Boa constrictor male: 60 scales
I´ve tried with boas but i´don have any
idea how many scales must I count on balls phytons
If somebody could help me I would be glad.
Thanks

Doesn't work with balls. Probing is the most reliable way.

Probing or "popping" are the ways to tell.
By the way..
Marcelo,what Phelsuma species are you working with ?

Popping is a great way - slipped my mind as I was thinking adult snakes. For neonates popping would be my first choice. And if you find sperm plugs on the shed, that's an obvious sign of a male.
