Probing is the only safe, close-to-sure way other than a blood test to determine the sex of a king snake.

So you’ll either have to purchase a probing kit online and risk doing it yourself, make the commute to the vet, or find an experienced friend to do it for you. But if you go to the vet, which is probably a good thing to do anyways, they should include a sexing in the cost for a full check-up.

Until then you’ll just have to guess, I suppose. But if you aren’t trying to breed them, it really doesn’t matter past the want of knowing.

Take it to a local reptile show, there are always breeders and professionals that would help you out!

A pic of the tail and a few inches of the body from above would be easier to judge from. These pics really are not good enough. How old and how big is the snake?
