Cross dressing coastal.

[matt1084]

Just thought id share, just now one of my "female" coastal carpets just shed in front of me, I have not had this snake probed and bought it 2 years ago as a female. As it shed I was watching and trying to get the skin off in one piece (didnt work) and saw this.

now im not an expert but they look like hemipenes.

this is just another pic i took.

Nice pics. Maybe the 1st one came from it's head and it's growing horns.
About to turn into satans spawn.........







Or maybe not : )

its not the hemipens skin but rather sperm plugs in the shed skin you got there,
either way definatly a boy

 

[matt1084]

and how sure are we he is a boy? Would this not be an easier way to check sexes than probing?

 

[GeckPhotographer]

It would still leave possible females as maybes and would not occur until the snake put some age on.

Seen a fair few misrepresented snakes of late.

Here's some deep pockets from a definite male's shed:

You can decide how yours compare.

PS 3 year old Darwin male that mated my big mama

im pretty happy to say mine is male. ive got a friend who probes his snakes so i might take it to him to confirm.
