Re: sexing?

on adults, probing is the most effective method. You can VERY GENTLY squeeze the tail towards the cloaca, if it's a male, his hemipenes will pop out. You can only do this on newborns up to a month or so old. older snakes muscles will be more developed and you can injure them. The double/single scale thing in not true...they all have double bentrals past the anal plate. generally femalews are longer and stockier than males....generally. Females have a shorter tail than males, males tails are wider and longer...
