who wants to play a guessing game?

I've already sexed these two visually, but I'm very unsure of my abilities. So maybe you all would like to give it a try?

I won't say what I thought...I want to hear what you all think.
Here's one of them:

And the other one:

Hope the pics are good enough to tell. Neither snake was really interested in centerfold posing, and it was feeding day so they had mouse on their minds

The first is a male.... the second looks female but I am not 100% on that.

I had sexed them as 8 girl and 10 boy when they were about 7 months, but then over the last few feeding days (which is when I usually do my "baby inspections" I started thinking they were the other way around. Funny, I thought they were opposite sexes all along, but I had them backwards for long enough to give them the wrong names Glad you all confirmed my latest guess. I suppose I should learn to pop or probe with this years babies

I guess I'll change Max (#10) to Maxine, and Persephone (#8) to Percy. lol. They're the only two I've kept back from Ruby's first clutch, both are het snow and have an Okeetee dad. And both have a lot of abberant patterning. So as long as I kept back one of each, then which is which doesn't matter too much.

Thanks again
