Sorry about that, I got hit with that twice last year, two "females" I had bought in 2004 and raised up turned out to be males. Oh well!!

Sephuk.
....Is it tough to find BRBs for sale in the UK? Any guess on how many people are breeding them and also how much do they sell babies for? Can you move boids from one EU country to another without all the CITES paperwork? Just trying to get an idea how BRB breeding and marketing goes in other places.
Thanks,
Jeff

Not sure how the "legal" channels work but I was in EU and UK a few years back on work and country borders were like the state lines here in USA. No "border crossing" locations, just blink while driving on the freeways and you're in another country. Actual transportation of animals in a vehicle from one country to another would be quite easy.

More I look at it, the more it does look like a sperm plug. I think that pic I showed is only one hemipene while yours is both?
