    My New Butter Ball Python and My First Time Sexing (Popping Method)!
    Today I got a Butter Ball Python from the pet store and I thought it was a he (I just assumed) but I successfully popped HER! That's right it's my first female ball python! I saw a pink organ pop outwards and it had a hole in it so I am 100% now she is a girl :gj: Now I just need some name ideas! Anyone have a good name for my new girl? Post something you think sounds good! Thanks in advance!

    UPDATE: I just tried "popping" again and I got the penis-like thing to come out, in the videos there are 2 but I only saw 1 and I did not want to press too hard. Also a white thing came out of the end which I think is a sperm plug, can anyone confirm this? It was like a small dot and there were two that came out, any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance everyone!

    P.S. Don't worry about the name I thought of one :gj:

    I thought that's what it was because I have seen MANY videos on Youtube about popping, and seeing the sperm plugs, and his name is Butters lol :)

    I had a good friend in the Air Force named Butters!!! Awesome! He was such a sweetheart, too. Is your little guy a sweetheart?

    Cool! And yes, he is very tame, doesn't bite, he's just very friendly all around. I have never had or seen up close a ball that bites but I have seen kingsnakes that bite, have you ever seen a ball that bites people?

    Thankfully, no I have never seen a biter. I think for the most part, if they are in the correct set up, handled regularly, and are fed well, that most ball pythons won't bite.

    That isn't too say there aren't some feisty little things out there! Lol I'm just glad I haven't met them! ;-)
