I purchased what I believe is a male ball from a pet store not too long ago. It has no problems eating for me and is growing to a good length. However I'm still not 100% sure of its sex and am trying to figure out exactly what kind of ball it is. Is there anyone out there that can help me and maybe give me some pointers? I will see what I can do about getting some photos of it on here.

Check to see if your local petstore or vet has someone "qualified" to sex the animal. They will either probe it or pop it do determine the sex.

Hope this helps

The one problem is, that I have taken it to two different pet stores and they have given me two different responses. One said male and the other said female. The one that said male said that I should bring it back in a week or so because it had just shed so he wasn't 100% sure. But other than that the snake has shed twice and is feeding regularly.

I also just got a pic of my baby on my computer but I don't know how to put it on here
