Can anyone help?

First off I know that this is the "ball" python forum so don't shoot me for being off topic. I have posted my questions twice in the general python forum, but not only did I not get any responces in the last few days, there were no knew posts! In several days there have been only 1 post and 1 responce to it! The python forum is DEAD!
So, I came here because I thought that posting in a very active python forum would get me a responce (or get me chased out). So please if you know the answers to my questions let me know, or let me know where I can find the info.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable way to sex spotted pythons. I aquired a CB Cape York spotted python two years ago. At the time she was labled as a female. She is two years and four months old now and I have decided to get her a breeding partner/cage-mate at the IRBA show in San Diego October 18th & 19th. I now want to know if my python is truely a female and if so, how can I tell if the new python will be a male (or visa versa)? Also what would be the proper way to introduce them? Finally, does anyone know where I can get info on breeding spotted pythons? I've heard that it's easy but I want to do it right.
Thanks for the input.

Well, I can't help you, but I figured I could at least let you know your post wasn't being completely ignored...

Good luck!

Just out of curiosity, have you tried a google search to see if you can find any pages of info on your python?

Have it probed by a vet or someone with a lot of experience. Arrange a guarantee with whomever you purchase it's mate from in regards to sex.

Regards,

Neil
