The cloaca - is located at the base of the tail. If you look at the scale pattern on the underside of the snakes body, the scales are primarily rectangular in shape, and lined up side-by-side (think of it like a ladder) - these are the ventral scales. Towards the tail, the pattern changes to shorter, more rounded scales. The junction between the two patterns is the snake's cloaca.

Where does a snake tail start?

A snake's tail - starts at the cloaca. If you look at the underside of a snake, each of the ventral scales is a long, narrow rectangle. This pattern changes after the vent (entrance to the cloaca) to smaller, tessellated scales. The vent (and thus the tail) is after the last ventral scale.

How do you tell the sex of your corn snake?

The best way I know of is to locate the cloaca of the snake. This is like a humans anus. Then take a probe or thin wire and slide it gently into the cloaca, towards the tail. If it goes down into the base of the tail, it is a male snake. If you insert the probe and it stops, its a female.
