Monty Is A Chick!!

[CoolioTiffany]

I feel so weird for thinking she was a male this entire time..

I was cleaning out my Spider's tub tonight and I wanted to pop him (just to test my mad skillz) and I did see hemipenes, then I got curious if Monty was a male. I've popped him before and saw nothing, and this time I was for sure I would be right because I just popped a male and saw penes. So I popped, and nothing. All I saw was scent glands. I popped him the same exact way I did with the Spider, and still got that scent gland result. So NOW, I have three females, and one male. IMO, THAT'S EXCITING!! Now, when all the females are up to breeding size, I get 3 clutches



Anywho, just wanted to give this shout out. Next year I'm starting my Spider out with Candice, she's almost up to weight. Just one more year and she will for sure be 1500g+. So, I'm guessing in two years all the females will be ready to breed. So in 2012, I will have two clutches of normals and Spiders, and one clutch of Pastels, normals, Spiders, and Bees!!

Exciting c:

Lunali and I are planning all of our BP purchases based on breedings we want to do. We still need to sex her snake. I'm hoping it's a male since my normal is a female and since hers while likely a normal is absolutely beautiful. Lots of fiery oranges up the sides. We'll be getting a photo of her bp up on the forums as soon as course work isnt killing the two of us.

Gotta love having a good supply of female BPs for breeding c:

I'm still to nervous to pop my kids.

Did you get Monty from a petstore or breeder?
If it was from a breeder, I'd be willing to bet it's still a male and just didn't show you his hemipenes. Once a breeder pops and see's them, it's a guarenteed male, but sometimes mistakes happen with females because the hemipenes don't show and they think it's a female when it's actually a male.

So you see, males are rarely mistaken if that's what they're labeled as.

I adopted it from the place I volunteer at (herpetological society), and the guy who sold it to me just looked at the tail and said it was a male, so I wasn't even sure if that was correct.

He sounds like an expert
