LOL, THAT'S not visual!!
There really are NO dependable ways to know by sight. In general Spurs tend to be larger in males, females tend to grow larger that males, males tails are longer. There are exceptions to EVERY rule , and in ball pythons there seem to be more exceptions than Carters got little liver pills. If you had fifty snakes in front of you, most likely would all prove wrong by sight.

Pop them as babies and probe them after that is th eonly reliable means. Visually one could say in theory females run larger and have stubbier tales. Males have large curved in spurs, demales have small ones, but as the males ages her wears these down. So it's near impossible to do other than speculate on visual inspection.
