i have two baby corns and i don't know what gender they are. would a pet store be able to tell what gender they are?

thanks,
rachel

Pet stores can be broken down into the following categories:

A) those that are honest and say they don't know.
B) those that are honest and sex your snakes accurately.
C) those that lie like a rug.

Unfortunately, it's hard to tell the Bs from the Cs. Especially when there are more Cs than As and Bs put together. 8-(

There are a number of amateur herping groups around the country, and many have web sites. Try a search for "herpetological society" and your state. That's the sort of group I'd trust for an accurate answer.

You should also know that sexing is much less accurate with baby snakes than with snakes over a year old. Good luck.
