In Reply to: snake penis???? posted by GoryLori on January 21, 2003 at 20:42:35:
Hi Lori,
We noticed the same thing with our female snakes, all of them are different species, contacted a breeder, and found out if it was a male there would be TWO little protrusions (like a split penis, with 2 heads) that would come out, and she sent us a pic. When our females are excited about being picked up, we see a small single pink protrusion come out.(Which retracts after a minute, or two.)
If you are really wondering if you have a male, you can call in your local area to see if there is a good herp vet available, or inquire at the nearest zoo, if they would help you out, or find out if there is a snake breeder in your area. Would not try to sex your snake by yourself. As a general rule,(with some species), The male usually has much longer, skinnier tail past the rectal area. The female is usually shorter and fatter.
Hope this helps you out... Doc and Jan (TDL)
