Don't be too quick to judge. A few years ago I purchased what was supposed to be a proven het for albino female...when I received the snake and took a look at it I thought "Man, there's no way this thing is a female!" It was about 6' and rather slender, especially for a proven female, the tail looked like a male and it had noticeable spurs. Well after quarantine it proved to be very tame and beautiful animal so I figured I'd keep it around for a while(mind you I had still not probed it). This year I had an extra male so I figured what the heck! Courting began within a few days and I still was very doubtful. I can now say that SHE has ovulated gone through her P.O.S. and is due in early June. So what I guess what I'm trying to say is it may very well look like a male but she might just be a bit of a "tomboy"!
Best of luck
