The most confusing aspect for me was that while I had bought it as a female, it ate about as often and as much as my males, sometimes less.



While the other 3 females I own eat like pigs, lol. They can't get enough food.



So I started thinking it was a male. I totally forgot to check on the scale count, that is the one method that slipped my mind. I wil, try to keep it in mind for the future.



The other confusing parts of this whole scenario is that it probed as a male, and like it said earlier, even appeared to have wide spot on the tail where the hemipenes would be. Yet the tail was at least half the length of the tails on my males, maybe even shorter.



Lol, I've never heard of Hognose being to ambiguous. I'm really glad to finally know though, and I will be sure to keep a close eye on her in the future. We were super lucky with eggs this time, and they are doing really well in the incubator. Next time we may not catch them quick enough.





Haha, I just had a thought. Wouldn't it suck if one of the eggs hatched out an albino or some other recessive morph? I'd have no idea who the father was. Maybe I could take the snakes on Maury.



Thank goodness that's super unlikely.
