Re: Male or Female?
The three inches (8cm) in front and behind the vent are the most important for determining sex. Even though it looks long and skinny like a male, it could just be a skinny female. The picture of its cloacal region is most important, but if you can measure it and it ends up being over about 25-26", it's probably a female... just another clue.

Re: Male or Female?
That's what we thought when we actually got a picture of it haha. So now he's a male, I'm pretty sure of it anyway. After researching sites and seeing the differences, plus the pictures on here. So now he's a male with the name "Pinky" hehe

Re: Male or Female?
I'll offer a second opinion just to show that we have a concensus. It's a male, but there's no way I could have said anything with confidence from the first shot.
Rick P.S. That's a perfect picture from which to determine its sex. |
