Sexing colubrids can be done fairly accurately, especially once they are adult size or almost adults. Basically you are looking for bulge of the hemipenes in the male and a quickly tapering tail on a female… it is hard to describe so go to Bill and Kathy Love’s corn snake site corn-utopia.com click on “About Kathy Love more” then click on “cool corn snake photo gallery” and about half way down is a pic “Collage of snake sexing methods”. With practice it can be pretty easy to tell the males and females apart. I hope that helps a little…

So, why don’t you name your snakes?


take it easy,
