i know what the male spurs look like as my large male has huge spurs. the long tail on the female is all that made me question the sex. the snake that was in question is only 6 months and has absoluetly no spurs, she even has like dimples where they would be. after comparing the thumb method (not poping) i am pretty confident that the female is a female and the male is a male.

i appreciate everyones responses. i just need to not worry about tail length in the future. i will probably use the thumb method from now on. thank you guys all again.

• It's not the presence or absence of spurs but rather their morphology...... - Kelly_Haller, Sun Nov 13 11:55:31 2005
