This is good advice, since you're undecided. Females take longer to mature than males and you might decide you really like them!! Throwing a male in next year will give you a better chance that they will both mature up around the same time...if the breeding goddess is smiling... :P

that and if needed, females are generally easier to rehome than males. although i'd never give up my balls.

so its easier to care for a female...i don't want to breed though...i just want a pet plus this was even hard to fly by my parents

Care is pretty much the same between the 2. If your plans arent on breeding and you want one that can potentially be a little larger then a female will be good, if you want it to be potentially smaller than a male will work.

[IMG]so its easier to care for a female...[/IMG]i think they meant its easier to sell or find another home for females, especially with breeders, because you can have more females than males when breeding and alot of people just dont want anymore males

well, it was just a idea I mean you could change you're mind I would get a female. but thats just me ;) and the both the same to take care of one is just a boy and other is a girl lol...:cool:

Also... when the female gets to breeding size she might start producing unfertilized eggs which can get annoying.

I wouldn't worry about it. There really isn't a difference other than size. Females are generally a bit bigger but females have upsides. These include breeding and rehoming.

This probably isn't true but I've heard it's easier to feed females.

Are you sure you know wether my statement is true or not? It seems like your only assuming I'm false, which Im not. When it comes to feeding, its all about the snakes personality, some are easy feeders and others arnt. Simple as that.
