Bring it on.
I know some people use those non-toxic paint markers. For me, I can tell the difference just by looking at them. :shrugs:
Same here, I recognize most of my snakes by sight. There are a few projects corns where I have several siblings of the same morph. While I can tell by sight which "set" of project siblings they are from, sometimes I don't always recognize which of the siblings it is. However, even if they look pretty similar usually head markings help me tell, and if not there is always something else that will make them unique. When in doubt, I always refer back to my ACR photos.
I also feed my breeding females more than the males so in my case the bigger one is almost always the female, and when that's not the case it's unusual enought to stick in my brain.
For the most part though, I don't leave breeding pairs together any longer than over night, so I just keep the male's empty bin with the female's while he is visiting. That way there is no doubt what bin he came from and where he belongs.

Gotta confess - my first reaction was along the lines of "What kind of fun is Wade up to this time?" My collection's small enough that they're all handled so frequently it isn't an issue knowing who's who. Of course, my breeding pairs to date have followed Nanci's suggestion of using different colored snakes.

Sorry, Wade. You just caught us off guard. Maybe next time you could cue us in ahead of time, perhaps with SERIOUS QUESTION COMING in the title bar or some such. :bird:

See that is the whole problem with being incredibly good looking. People don’t expect there to be a serious intelligent side to me. They think it’s just skin deep. Well it hurts when you treat me like a Greek god to be looked upon and idolized with no regard for what I might be thinking.

Wade...I put a little dot of fingernail polish on the male snakes...with some projects it is near impossible to tell male/female and takes too long to consult a card with head pattern, etc. Way easier to see the dot of nail polish and pull the male out.
Of course on projects with different colors....I do not do this! :sidestep:
But with those double het and triple het projects that are all normals or all anerys etc....this method works great!

Hmm Wade, I don't know if I would like the smell of nail polish on my tail! I would try a non-toxic paint or marker of some kind.
