sexing a corn

FelanMoira Apr 03, 2007 02:51 PM

Okay ... I thought snowflake was a girl, but the more I look at her and read ... she may be a he ...

here's a pic of her vent on the right and tail is going towards the left ... not a great pic, but maybe someone can hazard a guess?

by the look of that photo you could well have a male.

It probably is a male,...but if you could send a better "straight-on" shot, holding the tail nice and straight, we could give a more positive ID.

Most likely male, but straighten the tail out and post another pic for a better look.
