I keep seeing such a size difference between males and females which has really caused me to think twice about Sly. Ella, I don't really have a doubt she is female, but either Sly is huge for a male or he's not a male
I've included some "belly shots" and below are pics of the two of them together, including the last one that shows the differences in their head shapes. Ella is not "flattening out" being defensive there, either, that's how she always looks.
Thanks for you opinions!!! I was just looking at the pics again and he really does look male to me, but I'm planning some housing changes so need to make sure I've got this right!

Double Check Sexing Please
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

He's big... they both are... but I don't have a lot to compare them to, either. I'll work on getting measurements...

Lovely snake. Thick tail base extending beyond the vent. I would GUESS male, but the only sure option is probing.

Re: Double Check Sexing Please
The first picture I would say is a male... a nice, big one. The others I reserve judgement on. (or are they all of the same snake?)

Looks like it could be a cheeky faced male to me

Re: Double Check Sexing Please
Top 3 pictures all the same snake, Sly. Bottom 3 I went back in and labled them, so you can tell who's who
Since I see them everyday I forget that maybe they don't look all that different to everyone else Sorry!
Just took pics for snake measurer... results to come...TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
