    Corn Snake M or F?

    Hey guys I was given a free 4.5 foot corn snake yesterday by an owner who claimed it was nasty. I've have it for about 20 hours and it is very calm, anyhow I was wondering even though I know the basics if someone can give me a fairly accurate guess to it's sex. The snake is only 2 years old.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    no problem I beleive they are sexed the same way as garters but I'm just having bad luck guessing and my camera keeps freezing on me so I have to use my phone which has blurry pictures

    I don't know that it's possible to sex corn snakes visually - I think they need to be probed, but I'm not a corn snake person

    They can be and the same general rules apply. But for someone who isn't familiar with corns, it's difficult.

    Looks alot like a male to me, you can never be sure just by giving a good guess tho. Get it probed at a local breeder or reptile store. So the previous owner said she was a " nasty" corn snake? I never heard of a "nasty" corn snake. All of my corn snake's have been very docile and calm. The one i have now is probably the most calm i snake i have owned. Good luck to you and your new corn snake, they are great!

    Sight sexing a corn is very iffy, but I would guess male. It's a very good looking corn though. If you don't know it's parentage you have to call those a Normal, but it looks like an Okeetee to me.
