Sexing a snake (the process of determining gender) involves a small probe. Your best bet is to take the snake to a local reptile and amphibian store and ask them to sex it for you. If you don't know what you are doing you can injure the snake. If you still wish to do it yourself you can find instructions in many rep/amphibian books. Petersons Field Guide to Reps and Amphib's tells a little bit about snake organs.

If the corn is a baby you can also manually "pop" it by GENTLY rolling your thumb under the vent towards the back of the tail. If you have never done this before, I do not recommend it. Any pet store that has a reptile specialist should be able to show you how. The best book for anyone who owns cornsnakes (I have 3 myself) is the cornsnake manual by Kathy Love.

You can sex a corn snake by a probe, this should be done by someone who is trained to. Or you can tell by the way the tail and scales are. See the link below for a great picture and discription.

You have to take it to the vet and get it probed. Or you could hold up a pink dress in 1 hand and suit in the other and ask it which one it prefers. But I'd just go to the vet.

you have to take it to a vet or a good reptile pet store
there may be an expert at pet-co or pet express,
but it requires probing the snake, most dedicated reptile stores should have someone that can do it
