Re: help sexing...
According to Rossman et. al (1991), males have more vertebrae, more subcaudal scales (between the vent and the tip of the tail, or tail spike), and longer tails. I know the numbers for T.s. concinnus, but I suspect that these numbers would vary from species to species, and probably even between certain subspecies. By the way, these scales are easiest to count in a picture, instead of on a live, moving snake.
