another question about sexing

iceyesnteeth Jul 19, 2005 12:46 PM

i posted a couple weeks ago a question about how to sex my 18 month old snake.i have not yet been able to locate anyone in jersey willing to sex my snake for me.so i either have to go to a vet(waste of money if thats all im going there for) or do it myself.what do you guys think? should i give it a try?i am really getting anxious and want to know the sex badly.if i posted some pics, do any of you guys think you can guess the sex?i mean are there any body signs or is the only way to tell through probing?im sure probing is the only 100 percent way but even a 60 percent likly is better than 50 at this point.well,at least untill i do find someone in jersey that will sex my snake.anyone in jersey wanna help? yea,so if you guys wanna see some pics so you can take a guess just tell me what you wanna see pics of,tail,vent,head,bondy,whatever.i have a really good camera so the pictures wil be clear.

If you post photos, you'll need to show the snake from below at the vent to the tail tip. Also a side shot from vent to tip will help. Sometimes tail shape and length will aid in sexing by looking, but probing is the best way.
