I recently got 5 adult females that I've been attempting to sex just to be sure for the last month. I've gotten nowhere with it. I try popping and probing. First of all, they lock up their cloacas so tight, nothing's going in or coming out. And then, I'm always afraid of hurting them. I had my first clutch last year and initially mis-sexed 5 out of 6 of them. I completely suck at it. I've been keeping snakes for 20 years now and never learned how to properly sex them. It's embarassing. I'm not really looking for advice since I've studied everything I can get my hands on. Pretty much just venting frustration. And then, the tail thing is just ridiculous. I got my male cinnamon from Ben Sigel, so I'm sure he's correct, and he looks more like a female then my other balls that I'm positive are females. I haven't seen anyone sex a snake since I was about 11 and I just always take the seller's word for it when I buy a new animal. It's never failed me yet, as far as I know but I really wanna be able to do this myself. There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to. What the hell? Anyone else have this problem? Seems like everyone else is a pro at it since it's "so simple". Not for me.
P.S. Check out this pic. 5 males, 1 female. According to me, they were ALL females when I did it. I suck.

 Why do I suck so bad at sexing? - RyanT, Tue Mar 21 18:50:52 2006
