Gender Question !

august9 Aug 06, 2003 12:55 PM

I know the answer to this question probably has been posted numerous times in the past, but I was hoping for some help anyway.

I have a 4 year old ball python, but I have never found out if it is a girl or a boy. How do I tell for sure?

Thank you!

get it probed

Can gender be succesfully determined via probe at any age? Or do you have to wait until a certain age?

Probing can successfully be done from a few days old to whenever/forever.
Probing is the only 100% sure-fire way of determining sex.
