Is there an almost 100% way to tell if a king is male or female?
I mean a method other than probing or popping, my boyfriend managed to forget to ask if Cormoran is male or female, we're going to go back today to ask, but if they don't know is there any other way that is almost 100% right? My boyfriend mentioned about males having longer tails, I think, any truth in that? Although we're not new to snakes, we're new to kings and I want to know mainly for naming purposes! |

| Using the tail method for kings isnt really all that accurate and certainly not as accurate as probing and popping. Probing is most likely the most accurate and popping should really only be done on younger snake. |

| Thanks for that Gmac, the snake's late 2010, so popping might be an option, but the shop we bought them from are 99% sure it's a male, as I said it's not a major issue as we're not going to be breeding him. I just don't want to be calling him a girly name :P |

Not so much breeding, but it seemed the best place
