Check and then recheck gender

[LotsaBalls]

I saw a post like this a couple years ago. How could I have been wrong. I was sure it was a boy. He just wasn't getting the idea. Well it's a girl! I now have her and the other girl who I guess doesn't watch glee either in with a couple studs and they have been at it all night.

Which one did you just find out was a female that you thought was a male? Congrats on them going at it though.

It was a Dinker I got at petCo last year. Great eater big and a funky pattern. I checked at the store and never thought to recheck. Yesterday I was checking in some pairings and of course "he" wasn't locked up with one of my normal girls that had only been with "him". And I thought its a girl. I checked and yep. Now instead of a male Dinker to a normal I have my pewter to the Dinker and my butter to the normal.

So this may sound stupid lol, but how do i check to see if my python is a male or female? Been looking everywhere on this site for an answer but cant seem to find one. Would really appreciate the help

Really? Everywhere?

You either Pop them (manually everting the hemipenes) or probing (put a blunt, smooth probe into the vent to try and find the inverted hemipenes).

So using these new terms, look up popping snakes or probing snakes. You will find MANY threads on it.

Thanks, ive looked up on that and watched a few videos. only problem i have is that ive also read it can really hurt the snake if its done incorrectly :/ and id hate to hurt him or her ya know. Especially considering that i just got this python and its still going through the enviromental change and the stress of all that
