Best Answer

To tell if the snake is a male or female, you can look at some external features or sex it. Usually the spurs near the vent are longer in males, and the tail is also longer in males. Also, you can use either the probing method or the popping method of sexing. With the probing, the snake should be about a year old in order for the measurement to be accurate, the probe will go in about 4 scales for females, and about 9 for male. For the popping method, you will have to squeeze the cloaca or the hemipenes out from the vent. If hemipenes appear, a small protrusion, then it is a boy, and if a whitish bulb appears, the cloaca, it is a girl.

What is the oldest snake ever recorded?

The record is usually attributed to a Boa Constrictor that lived in captivity to the age of forty. However, a Rubber Boa that was first captured as a large adult in the wild in 1971 lived until 2006. The age of this snake at first capture is estimated to be at least 15 years old and very likely significantly older. A conservative estimate of the life span of this snake is fifty years and perhaps as much as seventy.
