Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi i Have a common Corn snake that is about 2 feet long and i bought him like that. but i was not able to get a sex on him. i was wondering if there was a way to sex them without having to go to the vet.
 
At that length, it's best to go to a vet or get an EXPERIENCED breeder to probe him. Do not try "popping", as it is impossible at that length, and do not try probing, as it is a delicate procedure and you could easily hurt your snake, destroying his/her chances of breeding at best or killing them at worst.
 
Phillip, search for a show in your state and see if they permit visitors to bring reptiles into the show. If so, go through the vendor list and see if their are any that deal with colubrids (ratsnakes, milksnakes, kingsnakes, etc). Contact any you may find to see if any would be willing to help you by probing your snake. Some vendors are more then willing to lend a helping hand to a newbie.
