It's true that there are plenty of physical characters besides the obvious that can be linked to gender, genetically-speaking -- look at the presence or absence of horns in quite a few mammalian species, for instance.  But I did not want snake-length in Gorgons to be one of them.  It would seem awfully contrived to make a cultural conception of modern America into a genetic norm for another species in another world, especially since having shorter snakes would be a huge biological disadvantage.
