Anyway Im gonna bet you have a male. Oh and if you cant pop him because he's an adultand has good control of his hemipenes and overall cloacal area, then you can hold him like youre gonna pop him and feel around the area where his hemipenes are tucked and you can actually feel them. I am not suggesting that you do that, I just tried it on my males and females and only the males have em.

If males probe 6-8 scales, then why would you say it's a male?

I dont know, I trust professional opinions? You did say it was a good vet...
My females probe 2-4 so... I unno

Check his Yahoo mailbox, see if he has a bunch of hemipenes enlargement pill offers. He might just be insecure about himself and that's why he had stopped eating. =X

They knew snakes in general, but I'm not sure how familiar they are with bp's. They said I needed a light bulb for UVA rays and a larger enclosure. :)

I'm not sure if bp's probe differently than other snakes.

I wouldnt know that one either. I personally have only ever sexed BPs, and Im still riding my training wheels with that. I practice on my KNOWN males and females...but you only have one lol. See if there's a local pet shop around ya, there's one here that'll sex your snake for you but it's like 5 bucks. I plan on owning a LOT more so I just figured I better learn myself.

I just got back to a rushed, but pleasant trip to NERD. What a cooool place (first time there haha). They popped it for free and guess what - my baby girl is a baby girl! Yay!

There goes my trust for professional opinions. But congrats!
