Mis-sexing will happen to the best keepers. Maybe not so often, but it will happen. Blood Pythons can be hard to sex, and Females can be mistaken for males especially if they do evert. You can also push that probe right through the pocket, even if your careful in not doing so. Before buying anything in person, I will probe and double check. Same thing goes for any animal that is shipped to me. Nobody should take offense to you wanting to sex the animal yourself, if they do, walk away and find someone who isn't such a jerk about it.

We didn't make any TOS agreement or did he show me any. If I sell a snake to someone and I missexed it I feel like I would owe them some typo of compensation, at least giving them this difference is price for a male and female at that time. I'd expect a snake that's been in a 30 yr experienced breeders collection for 2 years would have been correctly sexed.
thanks for your time and response,
Matt
