my kingsnake is 4 feet long and i never knew what sex it was i know you can tell sex by how long the tail is but im still stumped heres what it looks like

like 2mm before the vent it looks like an hour glass it gets skinny there then right after the vent gets fat again and starts to gradually taper.

Just click on my name and it will email. You can upload pics to the kingsnake photo gallery for free and post them for everyone as well. After uploading to the gallery, you should get a drop down menu at the bottom of the reply or new post screen, select the pic and everyone can view it.

Hard to tell from that pic. Sorry. Do you have another? A good overall pic that obviously shows the tail would be good. Look below at the post "New Project Cal King. Comments?". That is a good pic and you can see the "hips" on that girl. If I can see that clearly, there is a good chance that its a female.
