Question
i have an albino california king snake, how can i tell the gender?

Answer
Hey Shorty,
you can sex your snake by gently inserting into the caudal cloaca an appropriately sized sexing probe that has been lubricated with tap water.  a lot of sterile lubricants have been shown to be spermicidal,Females probe to a depth of approximately two subcaudal scales while males will probe to eight or more subcaudals.if this technique makes you nervous (understandibly)you can take him/her to your local reptile store or vet and most are happy to do this for you.

       thanks for the question if you need more help let me know

                        thanks
