yup well atleast I don't have to trust them now. I didn't know how to sex snakes b4.

im hoping he'll be a stand up guy, he posts on here alot, i sent him a email, aiting for his response.

Could have been an honest mistake. Lots of people sex them out of the egg and never recheck them before shipping. I actually had the same thing happen to me recently but it came out more in my favor. Bought a het male and got a het female. You will know soon enough by the way the seller responds, but I can't imagine anyone trying to scam someone over a normal female. Maybe back when they were $1000 but not now when they are only $100 on a good day.


Good lesson learned though. Check the sex the day you get a snake no matter who it comes from. Everyone can make mistakes.

I bought one off of graigslist from a guy for 10 bucks who thought he had a male got it home and probed it female. Anyway worked to my advantage. I've found probing a very easy way to determine sex on larger snakes. Smaller ones are better to pop.

well he responded back and said he would send another proven breeder female out free of charge. Im sure it was just a honest mistake. im pretty sure hes not going to want the male back so if he doesn't, I'll need to find this guy a home.

I still need to learn to probe... wish there was more snake people around here.
