I've heard that its possible to sex a ball by guaging the tail length and spur curve. Is this true? If so, what are the general characteristics between male and females? I know I can just have it probed, but I'm not interested in breeding it, I'm just curious if the 'boy' i've had for a year is really a girl... 3ft 2in long. 2 and 3/4inches from vent to tip of tail. head is 2inches snout to back and 1 inch at its widest point.
Thanks
you need to have it probed....

Well, at around three or four years old a male will top out at four feet, females will get longer, five or so feet, and much thicker. I have a male and a female, and there is an obvious visual difference between them, but it's only due to the size of the entire body.
