Post pics of the head, tailbase, midsection, and whole body..

From a few angles, side, top, bottom, etc. They are an easy monitor to sex actually. The problem is know what to look for, the nose, head shape, midsection, tail base, etc. Popping them is not easy, if done wrong can hurt them. Also one problem with eversions, and popping is you may only see a partial if you dont know what your looking at. Male albigs have BULGES not bulges, they really stand out on the tail, the nostrils stand up and out the sides more, the head seems narrow in comparison sometimes, the midsetion is shorter narrower, eye ridges are a bit different.
