Re: he grrreeeewwww!(yes again) Rook piccies!
females tend to have larger heads, Rook looks like a female because he is not overweight but is somewhat thick-bodied

Now, my next question. The albinos are somewhat see-through, and holding Rook up to the light, it looks like there's "something" that goes back for a short distance from the vent into the tail. What would this be? (Scanner doesn't seem to work.)

Re: he grrreeeewwww!(yes again) Rook piccies!
Great pic, thanks so much. Rook must be female. I think we can once again say that we know the gender for sure (and not do that again!). I did think Rook was quite thick, but the 3/4" long shadow behind the vent had me fooled. The only explanation for that I could think of was hemipenes. Maybe if I can find some snake anatomy diagrams I can figure it out. This has been an interesting learning experience
