True, but Joe's way can save having to find out the hard way in two or three years..LOL!

I am probably right by looking at their tails maybe 96-97% of the time, and will always verify this by popping afterwards, but I have also been wrong a couple times over the years like everyone has been in the past given enough time. I also pop youngsters again just prior to shipping them to make EXTRA sure that customers get the corrct sex they were supposed to. I'm glad it is extremely rare for me to make a sexing mistake, but Jorge will tell you that when he came over to get a king hatchling a couple years ago, when I sexed the "alleged" female again of the 1.1. pair he was supposed to get, out popped the hemipenes this time......I was like....huh?,..WWWTF???...
