    that's kind of the easiest way to identify male from females... their heads are smaller. (they are smaller period)

    Here's all of my snakes... big difference on the shape of his head.

    I mean, it's not a HUGE difference, but he has bigger eyes, bigger head, shorter nose,...

    Some females, like Squirt, have a more shorter, pudgy face than males. Her face has always been short compared to Thumbelina (male) and they're about the same age. She's taken off in growth though. Thumbelina used to be so much bigger

    please do not be mistaken... head shape and eye size on a baby is absolutely zero help in sexing the snake. it's merely a coincidence that your big eyed stubby nosed baby is a male. Even as adults it's unreliable. I have had males that with just a picture of the head would fool you into believing it was a female, and vice versa.

    Re: New Flame Eastern

    Right i know. all in the pics are males.

    I just meant, females heads are usually bigger, wider etc. As with most of the snakes body. Females are just bigger.. but not always. I get what you're saying.,

    Well, he small than my other, but he's also younger. If I see signs of him being a runt... than I may assume that's what it is. But he seems normal in size. He's only a few weeks old , 7 or inches long...

    I'm leaning toward to the southeastern influence like Shannon said.. Look at this pic (i found it in google images, but I think it's Shannons ) same shaped head as mine, but it's an adult.

    I have a moose male checkered that looks like a female at first glance... He's not even that big, but he's got some junk in his trunk... He's round in the middle like a female would be and he's got a rather large head!
