Actually the are very easy to sex just by looking at the length of the tail. Compared to most other colubrid species we've worked with, Hogs are by far the easiest to sex as hatchlings or as adults. Males have longer thicker tails with a stronger offset from the rest of the body while female tend to have short little "piggy" tails. You see what I mean once those babies land. Just look at 'em all and I am sure you'll see the difference.
Good luck!
