ok here is a picture of my baby Common Boa he or i think its a he though not been probed , i was told you can tell by the tail is that right?
hes about 4 months old and hes my first snakePicture 079.jpgPicture 083.jpg
He's so cute hope you like him :D
 
Well I hope you knew that this snake can get very large and potentionaly dangerous. You can tell by the tail but that poves sometimes unriliable. Once you snake is larger, you will notice if it has large or small anal spurs. If they are large, then its a male. Probing is the most reliable way.

wow sounds far out so how does he do it again ill try it i know the sex of my snake and monitor so i would love to try it and see if it works:D
 
what he said was if you are a man and you tiy your ring to a pice of string and hold it over the snake it will rotate in one direction for male ,, but if you are a woman and use your (hers) own ring it will rotate in the other direction
 
he said it was to do with hormones from the ring reacting with the hormones of the snake
