Here's why:
* Sex vs. Gender: Gender is a social construct, and while some animals exhibit behaviors that might be considered masculine or feminine, these are not inherent to the species.
* Biological Sex: Snakes, like many animals, have biological sexes: male and female. However, their biological sex doesn't dictate their gender.
It's important to avoid assigning human gender roles to animals, as this can be misleading and reinforce stereotypes.
