I put my two adult balls together and they started showing agression towards each other, is this normal or do I have two males? The last one I bought was supposed to be a female!

What kind of aggression? Are they rearing up at one another trying to "wrestle"? If so, you've most likely have two males.

Thanks for your help, they are in a sweater box and when they get close to one another they kind of toss around and seem to just try and get away from one another. When I first put them together I thought I saw the one strike at the other one! I'am new to this so any help would be appreciated. Thankyou Larry

You need to have both of your snakes probed to confirm their sex. You can also try to "pop" them to see if you can invert their hemipenes or the sperm plugs... if you know how to do this, tougher to do on adults. If you get sperm plugs from both snakes, that'll answer your question. Good luck!
