sexing with shed?

[Barak666]

Well as the tittle suggest, is it possible to sex an individual by looking at the shed it left? What I understand from the other sexing thread, is that by looking at the tail shape and size past the cloaca, it is possible to know the sex. As my little beats don't let me handled them yet, I was thinking of using their shed to look at the scales shape/pattern. If you think it is possible, I will try to take pictures of the sheds I kept and post it here (for now I'm at my job so I will do it once back to my apartment).

Thanks

Do a blind experiment and find out if you can.

Here is the last shed from the orange one. Is their something to do with it?

I would call that a male by the shed.
I also think sheds can be misleading for sexing purposes.

that looks like a male shed.... but I agree with steve. Sheds are not the best way to sex a snake! But. I have looked at my snake's sheds before, and you can often tell with adult snakes.
