From the photos, I'd say female, but are you sure you are popping correctly?

In my opinion it looks like you are doing the attempt at popping incorrectly.Please find someone that does know how to do it properly before you hurt your snake :gj:.If someone does show you a pic it would not make a differance on determining yours sex if you are unable to check yours correctly.Not trying to be rude here just trying to make sure you dont hurt your snake ;)

You're not doing it right.
Yes it is still a boy.

how do you do it right when there is no one to teach you?

Best option is to find someone to teach you. No matter where you live there is someone near you that is in the hobby if you network a little you will find them. Option two, is to watch many, many videos. I just saw several on another thread and i know Ralph Davis has a few videos on how to pop. Thirdly, and most important imho, is practice on a cheap normal. Nothing against normals but why even take a risk on damaging a thouasand dollar snake. Todd

ok well i guess i need to work something out, but these white horns, males also have them right?

yes they are scent glands and both sexes have them. Todd

and on a side note. That snake is very large to try to learn how to pop on. It is very difficult to pop an adult snake and really takes someone with a lot of experience. Your best bet would be to get her probbed by someone that knows how to do it. Todd
