Just got a wild caught pair of thees beauti snakes 
They hav been in captivitet over a year now.
My Questies is.
Is there a way to sex them visuel?
How big should they be to breed.
the female are around 260 Grams
Male 150 Grams.
And if you guys want, I can upload some pic's
Should be a significant size difference between the size of the spurs on adult males as compared to adult females. The adult female spur should be next to nothing and recessed.

Thanks, the male has what i call normal spures.
The female hav a small one and a normal one.
There's no way to tell by the tails lenght?
heres a picture of the snakes.
Female
male
If the spur size and morphology is confusing, you may need to probe these snakes, or have them probed to accurately make a determination.
Kelly
the male will have thick, claw-like spurs and the female will have thin, hangnail like spurs.
Are is also obvious size dimorphism between males and females.
