Hi there, I have what I think is a male Hog Island Boa. He was given to me by someone that couldnt keep him any more. He bought him as a baby at a reptile show as a male. I hear that the spurs are bigger on males but since I do not have another one to compare to can I also go by tail length? Or should I just bite the bullet and find someone to probe him for me. I have not gotten around to learning how to probe just yet.

I could post a picture of that area if needbe.

Thank you very much,
Carole
