Give me your best guess, Is this snake a male or female?

Hopefully it is a female...Need more females for future breeding plans! :D;)
 
sight sexing is VERY unreliable. I would probe it. and i dont have my book around, so i dont know the lengths!
 
Yes I am aware sight sexing can be unreliable, that is why I am only asking what your best GUESS would be :D:D Also, I wouldn't know where to go to get it probed, and I don't have the equipment to do it myself :(
 
I'm thinking male. The tail is very long and uniformly tapering. You should look up a video of someone doing a popping on youtube and then do it yourself to find the sex.
 
I'm not sure I would go and try to pop the snake to determine sex. It's not a good idea to do on snakes that are over a certain length, and this snake is over that certain length (don't remember how long exactly, but popping is only usually done on hatchlings).
 
If I had to wager a guess, i'd guess Female. My male's tail is significantly longer than that, so that's the only basis of my guess.
 
yep. definitely a corn snake.


male. thats my guess. very hard guess to make just from pictures though. still a hard guess in person.
 
REally hard to tell by sight. My yearling female amels tail is very simular to your snakes though so I'll vote female!
 
LoOks... like a male to me. The bulge behind the vent rather than a smooth transition to the body. You never know for sure until you probe, but that is what I guess =)

Male.
 
LOL... I guess all the time with the snakes I catch around here... Just to give them some kind of "identity".

If I were to guess, I'd guess female too.
