Help sexing ball pythons

greyhound_guy Mar 22, 2004 10:02 AM

I need help on how to sex ball pythons.From what I have read it looks like the one I have is a femlae but I was told that it was a male. He/she is two year old so I think I should be able to tell. it is very heavy bodied and has to samll spurs. I say small becasue I have never seen the diffrence3 between male and female. The tale is quite samll i think. any pictures of male and female would help

You can not reliably sex a BP visually. They need to be probed or popped by someone who knows what they're doing: vet, breeder, etc.
