sexing eastern hogs

herper79 Mar 12, 2006 10:23 AM

Hey guys,
I bought a pair of easterns last spring and one did not make it.
I could not tell them apart (both had long tails and looked like males to me)
Do eastern males have longer tails than the females? I have not tried popping or probing because I have never done it before and I do not want to harm the animal.
Thanks ,
Nick

hey, I thought of something that happened to me a while ago had a pair of snakes, ended up being a pair of males, maybe the persone who sexed them made a mistake as for the pic I would guess a male
