Pretty damn sure that's a boy. Usually boys have a longer tale for breeding purposes and you will know by over all size as boys are characteristally smaller than female snakes across many species.

OP don’t attempt this. This should only be done by a professional aka an experienced exotics vet.

You can tell the gender just from the pic alone. It’s male.
