Re: this might be dumb but
Every ball python has spurs. The only accurate way to sex your snake is have an experienced vet, breeder or hobbiest to probe or pop it for you.
Re: this might be dumb but
those are the spurs.... all bps and both sexes have them, so it is not good way to tell if the ball is male or female.
EDIT: i am always too slow...
Re: this might be dumb but
those spurs are the remains of their hind legs before evolution. THey kept the bones, mostly found in old world snakes. :D
