You can not go by the spurs as a way to be 100% sure of the sex.It is possible the guy was wrong.Take your snakes to someone who knows how to probe snakes correctly.I am not being rude here just honest

Well, I would seperate them and give them different enclosures. I hope your female isn't too small for breeding.

i think igot it right lets see

bpkid :- no it`s not the one in my profile but if i got this right you should see her for yourself

I'm not an expert, but it looks just fat to me. Just still, make sure you get another enclosure and seperate them as ball pythons are not supposed to be housed together.

click on gallery, click on upload, click on browse, click on the photo you want to upload, click submit, then copy and paste the url with img tags ( [img] [/img] ) around it on here.

EDIT: nevermind, you did it.

i have already seperated then the big one is in a four foot tank and the small one is in a three foot tank

as i say if shes fat do i care, no we still love her but just out of interest can you still handle a pregnant bp as normal she loves her cudles thats all
:)

wot you reckon to the pics of her

Actually you should care if she is just fat as that could shorten her life span or cause her to never be able to breed.When and if she ever does infact become gravid no you should not ever handle her during this period.My opinion i think you should stick to them being pets for a couple years and get there care and experiance under your belt before you try to breed them.Like i always state i am not being rude here just very honest;) .

i diddent intend on breeding yet but thats how i got her and i was just playing safe and asking someone in the know.

this was my girl Ginger just before her pre-lay shed. you could feel slight bumps (the eggs) inside her.. would you believe there were 8 full sized eggs in there? :)
