thanks for the help! I don't know if it's a male or female...I assume the only way to know is to probe it, and I dare not attempt that myself (I could if I ever got the chance to watch someone do it first.) It stretched out better after I posted the first time, and I could see that he/she is right at 4 feet, not 3.5'...I've lived in Harrisonburg, VA almost 2 years, and I know they got him/her shortly after I moved in, and he's been a staple at the pet shop ever since! The fact that it seems to already be on the upper end of the size range may mean it's a female, but that would be just a guess. It's not real calm, but never struck or bit me in the past when I've held it at the petshop...it had a bad rep there and everyone was afraid of it, so it got little attention. Every now and then, I'd be in there checking out what they had, and I'd say "let me see him again" and the person would say no, he's mean and will bit...but every time I got him myself and he never did lol, I don't know why they were so scared of him; this is a private pet shop and they have many reptiles, and the people are pretty knowledgeable about them, that's way I shop there...I have a petco right down the street, but I don't think the employees there (when you can actually find one) can tell the difference between a corn snake and a ball python! Anyways, again, thanks for the help because I knew (well, thought) it was a gopher snake, but I was having trouble telling which one!
