I knew it!!!!
I've been thinking this for about a year now and never got around to confirming it. Well I decided to and found out Rayne is a BOY! I just knew it too. I never really payed much attention to the "length of the tail method" until about a year ago. I figured, yeah she's has a big tail but such tiny tiny spurs and is a pretty good size for her age, so I put it on the after burner. For the last year though I've been thinking about this method more and I was pretty sure that she was actually a male because I haven't seen a whole lot of growth. This got me looking at all my boas a little more closely. From there on out, everytime I'd take pics of Rayne, I'd see look at her tail and just think to myself that she looks like a boy. I dug out the probes and got a 14 subcaudals on her....ahem....Him. A little shocked, but I've suspected it for a little over a year now.
.
How could I have been so naive?

Louise, you have a new member to your club now.

Someone needs to tell these snakes it's not ok to change genders midway! You gotta stick with what you get!

That is why I probe right away. If I go to pick up the snake I bring my probes and some KY and probe right in front of the seller. Every since I bought Herc as a girl I do it this way now.
Now I guess you can let him grow his mustache and goatee in |

Well when sh....HE (that's going to take some time lol) was younger, his tail actually looked "female". (or at least to me)
.
Well whatever the case, still doesn't change how I feel. Still very glad to own this one.

Adrian told me Sapphire might be a male, judging from the long tail. Who knows? I'll bet lots of people have no clue as to their snake's gender.

It's probably why some attempted breedings are unfruitful. 2 males or 2 females on a date can't make baby snakes.
