    Definately a pair. In the photos Sly does appear big for a male, but he is a "he". My Eastern males normally range 18 to 20".

    Re: Double Check Sexing Please

    Check out the measurements. I've never measured these two, so they really surprised me... I even went back and double checked pictures to make sure I didn't measure the same snake twice! Nope. Sly is a big boy... Ella, not huge, but not tiny, either.

    Ella 27.152"
    Sly 27.130"

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    Just visual sexing. I actually pulled her out to do pictures and put her back without taking any. She looked really obvious to me.

    Sly looks like a male to me
    I've got a pretty large marcianus male
    I just took a photo of him - never done the snake measurer thing and I hope it's not too hard

    Re: Double Check Sexing Please

    It's very easy Rhea. Is there something in the picture with him to use as a size reference? Even the edges of the tank or something like that that you can measure? You have to enter the known measurement of the reference item and then begin measuring by clicking on head or tail and just following the curves of the snake, making little clicks along the way, to the other end Really easy.

    I just tried using snake measurer, but it won't even open for me
    here's a regular photo of the snake with an adult male hand for size reference, but the perspective is weird
    oh well
    I think he must be around 20"

    thanks for your help, Tami (she did it for me)
    my marci male is 23.8 inches, 63.12 centimeters long
    that means Sly must be huge
