Male or female

I’ve had my ball python for 4 years, I’m always worried she was sexed wrong? (I have ocd lol) I got her when she was a tiny little thing 4 years ago. Only a month old. Got her from a breeder and she was female. I got her probed about 2 years later by the same breeder and they said female. I probed her myself about a year ago and it probed 3 subcaudal scales one side sometimes probes 4. She’s large, almost 3000 grams. I’ve never seen sperm plugs. Would I have seen sperm plugs in 4 years of owning her?

If she's that large I very much doubt she's male. I think you likely would have seen sperm plugs by now if she were, but it's not a guarantee. Most of my males I know are males because of either probing or popping. Probing is easier for adults. If it were a male the probe would go down 6 or more scales. 4 is not much.
