    Pythons aren't like colubrids, you can't tell the genders apart by their tails. The only reliable is to pop them or prob them, both of which you should have someone with experience do as it can damage the BP if done wrong.

    You can't tell by the tail. If you try, you'll get it wrong 50% of the time and end up trying to breed two males . If you got the snake from a breeder, you can ask them to do it. Otherwise, try to find a reptile store or exotics vet in your area. Hope this helps,
