Re: spurs?
no females have spurs too, sometimes they may even have bigger spurs then a male. So this is not an accurate way to tell the sex of a snake.

No. All boids and pythons have spurs.

Yup. Both males and females have spurs. But in my experience, the males have longer spurs. I'm sure there are females with long spurs...But the ones in my collection always have the shorter ones at least...

As far as I know the male is usually more slender bodied with slightly longer spurs and a longer skinnier tail than the female. I currently only have boas so Im not sure if its much different from ball pythons.

There can be stouter males and skinnier females. Females can have longer spurs than males. The only way to know for sure is to pop or probe.
