Can you sex my corn snake?

[beaniesmommy]

I have researched this and I am just to new to snakes to figure is out yet... What do you think?

Here are three of the vent and one of the whole body, just in case that helps... Oh, and it had a big lunch yesterday.

male????? i'm fairly new to sexing as well........

[andyoconnor83]

I would lean towards female. I would also note that if this is the new one we were previously discussing that it is all corn in my opinion.

yeap 100% male

Not a pro here, but my first thought was male.

[Zephyr]

I'm thinking female. Many of the corns I have had been sexed via popping *By a pro, don't fret* And a lot of the females I would think to be males by their tails.

[andyoconnor83]

there's a fairly distinct narrowing after the cloaca, male corns tails continue at the same width with no extreme tapering as it looks like in these photos the tail almost seems to indent at the cloaca. but since it's a young corn it COULD be a male, best way to know would be comparing side by side to a known male or female of the same size or take it to a vet and have it probed. There is a great exotic pet vet with fair prices here in bothell. Can't remember his name off the top of my head but it's easy to find online.

the only way to be sure is to have it probed, corns can be very similar until the females/males come of breeding age.

Thank you everyone for all of your help! I am not a breeder so I am not to worrried. We just like to have a gender so we can name it and refer to "it" as something. But we are going to call it a her, since we have a boy garter. We named it "Kist" and we kept our new garters name "Tilly" and instead or Matilda we just say his full name is Tillford (I think he could get beat up in school for that) but it works for a snake.

Andy:
Thanks I feel better about having a 100% corn snake Although, it is an awesome snake I don't think I would have done anything different if it wasn't. Oh, and thank you for your offer for another snake, I really want to make sure I can keep the ones I have thriving before I take on another now. If they continue to be like they are though... Well, that is a different story.

Kist is a beautiful snake, and I'm glad you got her out of the poor environment she was in. :-)
