sexing

[adamanteus]

I always sex my snakes by appearance alone these days. Sometimes you get it wrong, but I'd rather be wrong than risk causing an injury.

That's where I am at... I have several "unsexed" snakes that I refuse to shove a probe up their vents, even if I was a pro, if the snake wiggles just right while that thing is up their butt, NO NO NO I won't do it.

Since my only breeding projects are Garters, and once they are even slightly grown, features like head width, neck thickness, and tail can distinguish the difference, not to mention, I order all my snakes pre-sexed.

The REALLY important animals are kept in a way that the sexes cannot get mixed up, so breeding plans can be made without question.
