ok...I have 2 definate male ball pythons...one definate female...and one that we were told was a female...we placed the snakes in pairs...both pairs locked...then we separated the pairs placing the males together and the females together...well...we just checked on our snakes and what we thought were the 2 females are now in a lock :-O...I know that 2 males will sometimes lock...one showing dominance over the other but females?...or could the one we thought was female actually be male?...we bought this snake because we were told it was female...it would kinda tick me off that we bought this snake for breeding and it actually be male...that would mean 3 males to one female...GEEEEEEEEEESH...

Sounds like your only real option is to bring all of your pythons to either a qualified vet or a keeper/breeder you trust and have them sexed.

Other than that there really isn't much you can do until you have a definite answer one way or another.
