Got "her" up to size...got all excited for breeding season aaaaaaand...male.

I was devastated. Gave him away and laid off pythons for a year. (Kept my male though)
Ordered some proven breeders from a dude who is no longer in the business after that.

"Butter", not lesser.

I always sex my ball pythons no matter who is the seller! My first snake turned out to be a female and I bought it as a male normal! I did not know nothing about balls then and bought it off a local guy selling on Kijiji! I took her to a local reptile store because she was growing too big for a male) and he probed her! I was happy and she will be one of my breeders this year hopefully(first season ever for me). That really sucks in your case! He does have an awesome and unique pattern! I hope you get more with that pattern!

Damn!, I have to learn how to sex bp´s :O
