SEXING AND BREEDING: A snake's sex can be determined in several ways. Hope this helps!!

1) Probing. This is the most reliable, but it should only be done by an experienced person. In this method, a metal probe is slipped through the vent to check for the presence of a hemipenis, the male copulatory organ. Every male has two hemipenes in the base of the tail.

2) A simple visual examination of the tail's length and thickness. The hemipenes make the tails of males longer and thicker than the tails of females of the same size. When looked at from the side, male tails are generally half as thick at the middle as at the base. Female tails are usually half as thick a quarter of the tail's length from the base. While learning, look at adult snakes of known sex before trying it on juveniles and adults of unknown sex.

3) Spurs. Male boa constrictors and pythons have spurs on either side of the vent that are longer than those of the females.

Here is Kathy Love's cornsnake website...she wrote the book on cornsnakes! You can watch a video on probing or popping, but if you're not experienced, have a cornsnake breeder do this for you.
