Body structure and tail length

[Zephyr]

I noticed this on the snakes Don sent me (wanderings): Compared to easterns, they have massive tails that barely taper until the last 1/3 of the tail itself. Even the females!

I can confirm this, at least as far as my snakes are concerned. I tried yesterday to sex my vagrans (already been sexed as females) the old-fashioned way by looking at the shape of the tail, but I have to admit, I couldn't say for sure. I even thought I saw a minute bulge behind the cloaka of the smaller one. They do taper, but they are massive.
