No fun when the gender is wrong..

Today I went and got my "next season female breeder" officially sexed by a ball breeder not too far from me. I also picked up their lunch so that was nice. But it turns out that me big ish normal female is a boy. I'll be selling him locally and getting a true proven girl from the same guy that sexed her. I got her and a smaller female on craigslist for $25, thy were mite infested (all better now) and they were sold as a 1.1 pair. They said that the small one was the male, but I learned how to pop snakes and I tried it on my little girl and it was a for sure girl, but my hands are far too small to pop an adult, so I got the big one probed. Male. [emoji58] what are some of your stories on false gender if you have any?

Did it probe male on both sides?

Yes. And popped male by the same guy. I wasn't too upset because now I can just get a bigger female, and I got them on craigslist so I didn't completely trust the sex of them, especially since the lady was selling them because her husband couldn't care for them any more. They were housed in the same tank. But yes, probed male on both sides.

That really sucks. But it happens, or some people just try to scam by saying something is a different sex. Few years back I bought a cinnamon female which I randomly decided to pop and it was a male. Honest mistake though, the guy who I got it from I've dealt with for years and he was under the impression I wanted a male.

Thats craigslist for ya

I actually have 2 wrong gender stories from this year.

There was a local ad for a 2013 male fire and a 2013 female enchi fire. The price was awesome so I went to look at them. After seeing the enchi fire I had to have her. I didn't need the male as I had a super fire proven male and was getting a mojave cream male, but it was a pair deal. Ended up sexing her when I got home and she was a he. I text the guy and he ended up giving me all my money back and let me just keep the snakes. I ended up giving the male fire to someone at the local expo who bought my fire female I produced. Win win!

The second was with a leopard I bought. I bought a male for a killer price that was around 600 grams. Well he ended up being a she. Not too bad of a gender error, but I did have to change breeding plans since I was planning on using the leopard on some of my females. Oh well I'll just get her up and use her at a later time. Lol

I actually just ended up trading the male enchi fire to a local breeder that needed a male that was ready to breed for a nice banana female from a sub Saharan mother.

I guess not all gender errors can be negative.

Those last two stories are actually pretty good haha

I ended up keeping the boy, and getting a big normal female. The reason I decided to keep him is because he's got something fancy going on. He doesn't have a single clean alien head and he has this black striping down his stomach

Any pics of him?
