I am new to this forum and I was wondering how to tell the difference between a male and a female?

there is 2 ways, that im aware of, either by probing or popping, neither of these methods should be carried out by inexperienced keepers, unless under supervision of someone who has experience.

I would suggest you take your snake to a local rep shop where they can sex it for you.

As Gmac says there is no definite way of sexing snakes just by looking. Some experienced keepers can tell quite accurately just by looking at the length of the tail but even then they sometimes get caught out. If you go to your local rep shop they will be able to tell you for sure by popping or probing
