    Re: Male vs Female... Which do you prefer?
    Females because I am too male-heavy... hahaha ;)

    But actually when I think about my collection in particular, most of my males are more outgoing than my females.

    Right now I'm going to be at 6.7 and after this breeding season I should be at about 6.10 or 11. So far my preference with female's is their eventual size annd of course I will be needing them for breeding in the future. Big female's are super cool!!

    Very good point Aleesha!

    I also agree with Robin that it depends what your plans are and what you already have. If recessive, I try to always go for the female first because she has to grow up a couple of years before being ready to breed. If co-dom, I tend to buy the male. But then again, if a particular snake catches my eye, all that good advice goes right out the window! :D

    In the end, male or female, morph or normal...they all produce snake poop. So I figure since you'll be picking that up for a pretty good number of years....choose the snake you personally love! :D

    Re: Male vs Female... Which do you prefer?
    correct me if I am wrong, but aren't males more likely to go off feed for periods of time as adults than females are? I believe it's part of their breeding instincts to fast...... so females might be a bit easier on the nerves :)



    I think I am preferring males....I like a more slender body shape.
    This is all just aesthetics talking....I don't have enough experience with keeping snakes to have any other basis for preference :P

    my male BP is quite outgoing though...that was an interesting observation someone posted earlier.

    Re: Male vs Female... Which do you prefer?
    I'd probably choose a male since, like someone said, they stay smaller than the fems.

    Boy, people sure like making polls around here...not that its a bad thing; just making an observation (shields head from thrown produce).
