Found out my Female is a Male. Dashed hopes

[JakeFromSnakeFarm]

So back in December I picked up what I was told by the breeder was a Male Karma, Female Mystic and Female Black pastel. Well today I started looking into getting all of the equipment ill need for breeding season, and looking at my collection for potential breeders. My plan was to breed the Karma to my mystic and my normal that I have. Turns out I should have had them sexed much sooner, because I took the Mystic to a reputable friend of mine today and had "her" popped. Nope, its a male.
So now I'm sitting on a male Karma, male normal, Male Mystic, Female Black Pastel, and Female Normal. I just want to have an interesting clutch. What kind of options do i have for the snakes i currently have, or should i try to trade one for a better breeder to my Karma?

Well, first I would probe and be really sure if the pop was not super apparent. If it is not what it is supposed to be I would contact the breeder. That said a male karma would be worth more than a female to me. I would get rid of the male mystic because you don't need it and buy another female.

That sucks. I would pop the female black pastel as well then if you can notify the breeder of the mistake. Sometimes they will make it right.

Well....I looked back through my messages to contact the breeder (north Texas ball pythons) and they seem to have disappeared. That being said, I just popped the karma and they mystic (which I'm not super good at) but the karma may be a female. I couldn't get ANYTHING to protrude from the cloaca. I'm going to try to post pictures of the popped mystic and see what you guys thing

The problem is if you cannot evert the hemipenes it does not mean your snake is female.

Depends on your experience, whether you place your finger right and or apply enough pressure.

When in doubt have your snake sex by a third party that is efficient at popping hatchlings to adults.
