One way to tell the sex of your snake is by the size of the claws/spurs on either side of the vent. It would be easier if you had a male and female to compare the two, but basically males are very large and noticeable and females are pretty small.



We feed in the cage and the snake hook isn't used during feeding. If we are going to handle them, we use the hook. This way if they see or feel the hook it usually gets them out of feed mode right away.



Later,
