#1859299 WolfRin View Profile	Question is there a way to tell if a red tail is a male or female without probing or popping?

If it’s a baby, then place your hand just behind the vent, with your index finger on the snake’s back and your thumb on the belly. Keep your finger in the same place, but slowly slide your thumb back towards the tail. If it’s a male you’ll feel two little bumps, kind of like bb’s. It might be hard to feel if you don’t know what you’re looking for though, I tried it on babies that I already knew the sex, but I found it quite easy to feel the bb’s on the male. It’s the easiest and safest way to sex babies, but I believe it only works with babies as adults can tighten their muscles making it impossible to feel anything. Kayla
