| I've heard something about how you can tell the sex by the length/width of the tail- is this true? |

i have always wondered myself whether Boo is a 'she'. The pet shop told me that I wont be able to find out what sex she is until she is a year old.
Is this true??? |

No, they can be sexed as soon as they hatch. |

ah cool thanks
which means when i get paid im gonna go get that sorted out, unfortunately there is no one near me that has enough experience in them to do it for me and i am not going to do it myself, so it means a trip to the vets which is likely to be expensive knowing vets |

Actually yoou need someone like a vet to pop the snake to identify for you. By popping its sex organs out (real, i'm not insane)quote:

i am taking her to the vets to have her done costing me £29. too be honest i would rather pay out for vet to do it
our local reptile 'specialists' insist:
1. you do not need a thermostat
2. crickets can be fed (they have a royal in a tank and there was locusts in it!)
3. snakes can be kept together regardless of what snake it is
4. you cant sex a snake till its at least 1 years old
therefore i think i will pass on getting the shop to sex my snake |
