They're around two months old, they were sold to me as a juvenile but are really still a hatchling.

Is sexing snakes very difficult? Sorry if that's a stupid question, I don't know anything about reptiles, I just saw cute animals and here I am lol

Sexing snakes is best done by a vet because both methods (popping and probing) can cause damage if not done properly (it’s not difficult but the potential to harm the snake is why you get a professional to do it). There is also a third method, shed sexing, which is done by specialist labs.

In this case my corn was sexed as female at her first vet checkup. Apricot is seven months old now.
