Jenn,



I don't think your snake is overweight at all. It looks very healthy, and you have it on a fine feeding schedule. You could probably go 10 days between feedings now. My daughter's corn never refuses a meal, but my son's king and my milk sometimes do, so they can go 2 weeks no problem. They're all '05s. I offer every 5-7 days.



As for sexing, you should find a reputable breeder nearby and see if they can "pop" the snake's hemipenes (if it happens, it's a male - otherwise there are none and it's a female). I've heard sometimes you can get a "false" result if it IS a male and the hemipenes don't pop. But if they "DO", then you positively know it's a male.
