I hope that number one is female and number two is male. Number two seems "fuller" behind the vent compared to Number one... but wanted to see what others might think.

Oh sorry, I ment the second snake. But really don't trust me, it's just me.

I would say def. concinnus as well........as for sex I'm not sure, but I'd say probably both male, but #2 could be female.....once again not to sure....

definitely concinnus....as for sexing by photos, doesn't work on babies...gotta be closer to adult to be able to see the developed hemipenes.

Best chance to get a sure sexing is to hold them in my hand.
Second best would be a photo view of the vent.
As Don said it would be better when they were nearer to adult and sexing by photos will never be 100%.

The first - female and the second appears to be a male. Hard to tell on the second one

KitKat, The second picture appears closer or magnified so that makes it a little more difficult. In any event I would say the first one does look male, not sure about the second one. I think another pic of just 'her'

tail end might help. They both look like very nice, btw

Best of Luck,

the specimen on the third photo looks like a male.

drache · 10-14-2007, 04:14 AM

the first one looks like a parietalis to me, but I can't say with the second
possibly the second one will be going into shed soon
I think I agree with Udo on the gender
