Hey everyone,

I have a friend who wants to sell me their 'female' Javelin sand boa. Because I have purchased 'female' sand boas in the past, who then turned out to be male, I wanted her to make sure this one was in fact, a female.

She took her to a reptile show a few days ago, and 4 different people probed 'her'. Two thought it was a male, two a female.

So, with that said, here are photos of her tail, from the vent up.

What do you think?

Also, I attached her KSB, could you tell me if that's a male or a female tail?

Thanks so much.

The kenyan is a female.

How old is the javelin? How deep did it probe?

I believe the javelin is a little over a year old.

I have not personally probed it, but that tail looks pretty long. Just from looking, what would be your first inclination?

I would guess the Javelin is a female. I looked at my 2.3 for a while and the males have a much longer tail relative to a female of similar size. I would say 90% sure it is a female.
