    Mismatched spurs? and morph pairing question
    I had my ball out today and happened to notice that she/he has way mismatched spurs. She/he is about 5ft long and 2,808 grams after not having eaten in close to a month. The previous owner said that she is in fact a she.

    The spur on her left side sure is large but the other almost is nonexistent. I was curious if this is any sign that she may be a he? I'm sure that some females just happen to have large spurs but I am curious. I haven't had her probed myself.

    Secondly, hoping that she is in fact a female, my fiance and I have been wanting to purchase a male of some morph to breed with her eventually. As far as I know she is just a normal, not het. for anything. The color in the photos is spot on with what she looks like in person. Her belly is completely white as well. I know choosing morphs is based on personal preference of course, but I'm curious what you guys would do if you had her in your collection.

    Thanks!

    You can't determine sex by the Spurs.

    Thanks Jon. I understand that you can't determine sex by spurs alone. I was just curious about the mismatched spurs and if any of you guys have gals that happen to have large spurs since it is "usually" a male trait.

    My little 600g female normal juvie has bigger spurs than my 3+ year old male Pastel.

    [but I don't mention it in front of him so he won't get a "complex"]

    And yes, she is definitely a girl and he's been a daddy many times over so there's no question who's what....:)

    That's a beautiful snake, BTW.

    Males and females can have different sized spurs large and small and sometimes they can lose them.

    Very cool. Thanks guys! I think she may have actually lost her spur on the right side altogether.

    Any ideas on the morph question?

    Seems to me she might throw some very pretty Pastels...of course, I really like Pastels so I might be a tad biased:)
