    so i think my female is a male...
    Well today i put in my lesser with my other "female" and instantly I saw my first round of what looked like male combat. so i went to check the sex on my female, so i got the best picture i could... thats a hemi right?

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...loser/male.jpg

    I bought 2 "females" back in may 1 was proven and the other not. I won't say from who yet until I email them. I didn't know how to pop back then so I took his word for it. I've never popped a bigger snake like this, but it looks like a hemi to me. that and the big fight that broke out instantly.

    also anyone thats had this happen how was it delt with?

    That is one hemipene. You either didn't pop both out or it may have been prolapsed in the past and had one removed. It's more likely your finger/thumb placement just didn't 'pop' both out.

    I might not even be popping right, but atleast from what you guys can tell from the picture... its a male right?

    Honestly not sure. As folks said, it doesn't look quite right. But if the snakes were rearing up and twining around each other in combat, I would guess it's a male.

    well it was in a 41 quart so they couldn't really rear up but to me it look like the lesser was more just running and the other kept jumping on top of him. like he was trying to slam him into the ground and walls.

    It's a pene. The pink bit of flesh next to the hemipene is the anus.

    You'd pucker too if someone was squeezing you like that.

    IF it's the snake you bought as a girl and IF you can prove that, IF the seller is a standup guy, he'll replace or refund you to make it right.

    IF not, you've got two males and incentive to never again trust that any snake is what someone else said it was until you've personally verified the accuracy of their statement.
