Just wanted to have your opinion...male or female? It is a 2 years old, lenght is about 35 cm.
Should be a female but I am not sure after looking at tail shape..
These are the only pics I have (snake is not mine).

Thanks,
Andrea

I think female. Snake is pretty thin. Might want to tell the owner to increase the feeding frequency.

I concur with Chris, this looks like an emaciated female. A typical male would be a bit shorter but have a much longer tail in relation to it's body overall length.

Hey Andrea,
How are things in Italy?
I agree that it is a girl.

Hi Kevin, everything is ok here in Italy, hope to see new pics of your snakes soon...

Thanks a lot for all the replies.

Ciao.

That is a very poorly cared for female... At 2 years of age, thar animal should be much larger... I have females youner than that abd they are double the size...
