erm....
i'm no expert but i think at that size-- probing is better-- but if you saw sperm plugs-- i'd say male...
ladies don't have sperm-- wiggle-tails are a guy thing...
just my thoughts... but again-- i'm no expert...

Here is a link to VPI's website where Dave answers a question about "sperm plugs". I find this really interesting.

"sperm plugs are produced by male and females?"
Last I checked, only males produce sperm.....

Popping larger snakes is more difficult,I would use probes.Try popping on the babies and get a feel for it.Terry
