    Question Hi guys, have a question!

    Hi everyone, so I was looking at layla and noticed that these were sticking out ? I don't know much about sexing snakes or their 'below' parts but should these been sticking out?


    Not a very good pic but you get the idea...

    Please let me know what you think...

    Hi guys, have a question!

    Those are your snake's spurs. Completely normal.

    Those are the spurs and they're exactly where they should be on either side of the vent. Both males and females have them to assist in mating.

    Yep those are normal. As others said, they're their spurs. Pretty much vestigial.
