Meet the gang!

Girl all the way.

Here's the difference.

Male: the area of the tail immediately after the cloaca is about the same thickness or slightly thicker than the area immediately before the cloaca.



Now look at Selena. Look at the thickness of her tail after the cloaca, then look at her thickness just before the cloaca. Her tail is thinner because it tapers immediately after the vent. males don't do that because their hemipenes are stored in the tail. This makes a male's tail longer and makes it thicker in that area.

The two lines I put here would be the same length if she were male. In some males, the lower line would actually be a bit longer.

Right...I see what you are saying. Plus, the male tail looks longer and wispier...

Longer and wispier isn't always a characteristic of a male

Mama's tail is long and wispy, Snakey's tail is a little shorter than hers, but she's 3 times the size of him.

It was feeding day today. I kept my room a little cooler than usual, it kept Snap and Ember from acting like starved savages. One funny thing about feeding the babies is Squirt, he acts like a little cobra and eats with such an attitude! When I get the hemostats close to him, he immediately coils up with just his head raised, flattens his head and strikes at it. It's the cutest thing I had ever seen. I love that little guy.

I tried to get Selena to come out for worms today...no go. I tried them with tweezers and I tried setting them down and resting my hand next to them...she held strong...she wasn't coming out as long as I was there.

[kibakiba]

It can take a while. Squirt was like that. He really hated eating when I was around. I "starved" him for a week before he finally took a worm from me.

Thumbelina (Tiny) shed. She looked like she wanted a little bit of help getting part of it off of her neck, which was stuck. I put my hand in the tank and she immediately slithered onto my hand, let me mist her with warm water and I peeled away the stuck part. After that I figured I might as well help her with the rest, but I let her do all the work, I just acted like a rock and gave her some words of encouragement.
She's officially more than 3 inches.
Here's her asking me for some help... Which I cant resist. Or maybe she was showing me the pretty hat she bad from her shed.

Keep up the good work.

[EasternGirl]

She is adorable! I'm glad everything worked out with the shed.
