Yes, but that was an adult snake, which is pretty easy. The body form changes as a the snake grows, and it becomes quite simple to distinguish between the sexes. With baby snakes the visual differences are not apparent. Here's a thought....why not collect more than one snake, take them to an experienced keeper or reputable reptile store and ask them to sort a male one out of the bunch?
