Sex of my snake?

stingeragent Jul 08, 2003 05:17 PM

If I post a picture of my BCI, can someone tell me the sex of it? He/she is about 3ft 8in. so i'm hoping someone can. Also, what angle do the pics need to be from? Thanks

Boas at 3 are really easy to sex without probing.... Take a look at his/her tail if the spurs on the snake are easily seen then it is a male, if the spurs are very small and not very noticable it is a female. The picture would have to be the underside of the snake (at closeup Macro) of the snakes vent. If you posted this picture and it was of quality then it is possible to sex your snake over the internet. I have pictures of both male and female spurs at home, but I am not there and won't be for at least another week.
I will get back to you then. If you email me a request to send you the pictures I can do so when I get back next week.
Good Luck
Jim
