Heat options in plastic tank?

If I'm sexing visually from just a picture, the margin of error does go up. I have to actually hold the snake and examine it in person to get a better idea of what sex it is. If the snake is very small and/or young, the margin of error also goes up a bit.

I did visually sex two WC newborn concinnus' back in the late 80's and raised them up to a ripe old age. I wanted a pair when I collected them, and I wanted babies. They were with me a long time. (male 18yrs, 3ft, female 21 yrs, 3.5 ft). Apparently I got it right. In their lifetime with me, they produced litters and I released 150 yearlings back where I found the pair.

If Steve, Chris, Richard and Stefan are all saying female...I'd go with female. They have been doing this a long time. I just started trying to sex based on tail structure.

Don't put me in the same league as those 3. I'm struggling to work out which of our blacknecks is male and which is female, or if both are actually female (Sjoerd and Claudia sexed them as a pair, and I'm going with their experienced eye over mine and Char's for now) these western blacknecks are so long and slender (like... 6 months old, 42cm long and 22g) that they're actually pretty difficult to sex, but they'll get easier as they approach a year old.

Don't put me in any league.

[guidofatherof5]

I want out too.

I just get lucky.

So Richard is in a league of his own.

Well yeah...a couple of people on here thought Seeley was female based on pics...but he was only about 8 or 9 inches long at the time...he was young.

Haha yea when you did your thread "Dude looks likes a lady" I couldn't help but think of the song and picture Robin Williams with pie dripping off his face Heeelllooooo lol

I'll agree and say female, That is what I had originally thought as well.

On a George note, he is settling in nicely. Currently basking on top his vines and just watching me I think I'll offer him some worms.. I only got a pinkie n a half left and the store is out of them. Don't wanna try fuzzies cause I'd be scared about compaction. However if it comes down to it I could skin it....

Just cut it into small pieces before you thaw it.

Okay...that might be where I would have to draw the line. Nope..you know what? I was about to say at least that is one thing we did not have to do in nursing school. But now that I think about it...we did have to skin the cat too. We had to dissect cats and yep...we had to skin them too. So I guess skinning a mouse wouldn't be that big of a deal...carry on!

[Light of Dae]

lol Just thought of this.. Shaving it would work n be easier as well lol
But alas that's only if the store doesn't get more soon. Or I could head up to the city... But I don't really wanna drive for an hour just for pinkies. It would be a different story if my car was on the road instead of parked for the winter. I LOVE LOVE LOVE driving my little car, its so fun
