Does anyone have a pic or can anyone post a link to a pic of a tail comparison between males and females?

Male and Female what??

In most cases popping smaller animals and probing larger animals is really the only accurate way to positivly sex them.

A good indicator but be careful. I have a couple of snakes that you would swear were female by looking at the short tapered tail when in fact they are males. I am sure the opposite happens too.

I also have a male who looks female based on the shape of the tail.

I guess I was lucky to get an individual who, on rare occasions, everts his hemipenes while musking. Has anyone else seen this behavior in kings?

STILL CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE ? TRY THE OTHER END

THE FEMALE HAS A HEADACHE
