ok here it is i have what is thought a 50/50 cali king female or is it? also have been watching her rub her head on everything she comes in contact with wish i had photo, but i have some to help identify?

Female. Shorter tail and the tail sort of indents just aft of the vent.

Male. Longer tail and a slight bulge just aft of vent. If you run your fingers down either side of the vent towards the tail you may be able to feel the hemipenises.

From photos I saved off another forum from Lampro.

Not sure what you are asking here, but if it is the sex, it is a male.

thanks everyone that it was a male is what i thought to beut some one kept saying it was a female but i didnt think so

Probe it.

If all you rely on is looks, you will make mistakes, guaranteed.

the animal in question has been probed by someone that aperently dosent know what hes talkin about, i should have my new probe in a few days, the other question was is it normal for rub its head on everything it passes this is a new one for me? thanks everybody

Thats a sign of mites. Look for white dots around the eyes. Cheers

As said the pic appears male , head rub generally means its due to shed or possibly shake ectoparasites Does this snake retreat to water bowl in attempt to drown mites?
Often ive observed that mites love snakes in shed ,or do snakes automatically go through ectdises(sp.)(shed cycle) when attacked by these snake fleas , Just an observation and hope this helps my friends out there.
Eradication of mites is easy enough, dont fret ,,,many cures are avail and very effective some are not.....
