I'm sure someone else will answer before tonight but if they don't I will take a pic of my male and one of my girlies tonight so you can see how to tell the difference.

Males have dominate pre anal pores that are in the shape of a V along with 2 bulges at the clocla, females are generally smooth.

I've seen a lot of female blizzards that were assumed to be male just by the 'bulges' some of them have, so I included this last picture of a female who could be mistaken for a male.

Thanks Dragon Drop for posting that, it'll save me some time tonight. I really need to get answers setup and ready to go for the routine questions. Maybe if i have time i'll start working on that this weekend.
