I don't plan on breeding, but every one always asks me if Pixel is a boy or girl, and I've always just said boy but I honestly have no idea. These pictures aren't the best and if need be, I'll take better ones. Can anyone tell if Pixel is a he or a she?

it sorta looks male to me, but better photos would definitely help!

I know a few people on here are actually pretty accurate at guessing by photos..

best of luck!
 
I'll give it a try. With your help. And an extra pair of hands on your end would be propitious.

Delicately squeeze out any stored poop. Then let the snake relax. Lay the snake horizontal on its back, Take photo from perfectly above. From about 2 inches anterior to vent, with as much tail as possible. All of tail if possible.

Second photo from perfect side profile. About 2 inches anterior to vent and with as much of tail as possible. All of tail if possible.

I say female now, but reserve the right to change my mind if you can do this. And things look 'different'.

Or.......you can put it in a tub with a male. Then with a female. And describe what happens each time. ;)



Note : I am assuming you do not feel comfortable popping or probing. This done by a knowledgeable experienced person would be the ideal way to find out.

Unfortunately there's not any reptile specific stores near me nor do I know any breeder. Everyone I personally know doesn't like snakes, but maybe I can cajole someone into giving me a hand. I'll try to post better pictures later today.
 
I'm leaning toward male, but I'd like to see an even straighter photo, looking down at the vent, showing the tail, not tilted off to the side at all.
 
But maybe it is bi-snake-ual! Right? What then, V? :roflmao:

Smigon, that would leave us all, I hope, in a state of non-judgmental ambiguity. At which time I hope Eiram would still love her snake just as much as always and treat it with equality, dignity, and respect. As I truly feel Eiram would. :D ;)
