Its fairly easy to sex hatchlings, but I just recieved a almost 3.5ft plus probably 700 gram snake that I dont know how to sex, I dont have a probe kit or would know how.. Can anyone help me???

If you try to pop it the way you would a hatchling, you should see obvious signs of sperm plugs if it is a male. Also you should be able to locate the base of the hemipenes which will look dark red in color. A female will not have either.

Is sperm plugs like a kinda solid dry string that hangs out like 1/2inch when I popped her? Because I saw no hemipenis.

probably not a her....spermplugs...pretty much the way they sound. If you don't know what to look for, you wont see the hemipenes of an adult because an adult will almost never let you evert them like a hatchling.

thanks for the help my guess was right it is a male unfortuneatly I only need females.. I took it to a local pet breeder and he probed to be male soo. Oh well I have been searchin locally looking to trade for a similar size female or a pair of 05 baby females..
