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

Thanks so much!

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?

i have no idea, i've never had an albino, sorry, but if you look at this (a male) the tail stay the same thickness for a bit after the vent and theres a slight bulg
females get smaller a lot quicker

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

I guess we can expect a lot more growth in future

The nose to me on the girls look like the bullet train but the boys look like a TGV

But the way you say the tail looks I revise to boy

Now I'm confused again, LOL. I'm getting quite a variety of different looking trains with google.

So now we don't know for sure again If we can just figure out how to get better pics of that area...
