>>I bought a set of probes from Kathy Love at CornUtopia.
Along with the probes she sent a guide on properly probing snakes.
I took a couple of my snakes I already knew the sex of, followed Kathy's instructions and practiced gently probing them.
Turned out to be fairly easy.
After a little practice I was able to probe all of my unsexed snakes.

I meant to post a pic of one of my corns not my yellow rat.

>>By the way....The Cinnamon pictured above laid 24 eggs today...whoo whoo.
I now have 62 (18, 20, 24) corn snake eggs and 3 Bairds rat snake eggs.
I have one more female that is gravid and should lay any day now.

Depending how old your corn is (the older ones are easier), there is a way to find out just by looking at their under side. Look where the pooper and their tail is short than its a female. If it is long and more graduale to a point than it is a mail. I hope this helped. I tried explaining it the best I could.

That is not always as easy as it sounds.
I have a few, that when put side by side, look so similar you just can't tell.

Actually that is much to unreliable a method for sexing snakes. Unless you have other snakes of known sex to directly compare to, it is very difficult to make out the differences and even then I wouldn't say it is anywhere near 100% accurate.
Probing is without a doubt the best way to sex snakes.
