Hello,
Take it to a vet that knows reptile, and get it probed.
Peace

either a technique called "popping" which isn't 100% accurate & probing which is the best way. I have never probed because I am still nevours about hurting the animal

the "breeding" section will have more on sexing ball pythons. That site should be able to help you out.

Also check out vpi.com. That is Dave and Tracy Barkers site and they have a great article on their website that talks about all the different methods of determining sexes. Todd

Have someone who is experienced (vet, breeder, etc) pop or probe them. If done improperly can cause damage.
