determining sex

shaneo Sep 23, 2003 07:17 PM

Is there any other way to determine the sex of an adult ball python other than probing? Do females lay eggs, even if they aren't fertilized? What are sperm plugs?

If you have a reptile vet in your area they should be able to probe for you to determine sex. There really is no other way to tell for sure and even probing is not 100% if it is done by someone who is not experienced. Good luck. :0)
