when i got my snake i heard about he longer tail was male and shorter tail was female RIGHT?
But know i heard that thertes something to do wit the vent too?
i dunno wot my lil SIdney is!:confused:
 
Hi,
In Corn Snakes I dont think that the vent matters. In some other snakes the vent in a male is a different shape from the female.I think. Take your snake to a rep Vet or a breeder that knows how to pop or probe and have him/her sex your snake.

I think I know what you are getting at. Basically, if its a male the tail beyond the vent will taper gradually and wont look at all thinner near the vent. If it is a female the tale at the vent will suddenly go thinner and the tail will be shorter and will taper very quickly. Hope this makes sence, if not reading the cornsnake manual will explain better. lol

This isn't my picture - I just have it saved for reference. The female's tail (top) is shorter than the male's, also, it tapers quickly. The male's tail (bottom) is longer and thicker. There is also a slight bulge right after the vent. This method of sexing works best on older corns - in young ones, the male's hemipenes haven't developed enough to make a difference.
