    Not trying to be offensive at all but it's a shame that just asking if a snake is a boy might be misinterpreted in today's society. I only asked bc he looked big and I thought he could be a female ball python bc they get bigger on average. I have met someone who thought they had a male but later in life found out it was a 1700 gram female. That's all. Pretty handsome guy.

    Also I asked bc in several post you referred to him as a boy. Like you said something like basking boy day and more shots of the boy in the pictures you shared. And some other post that I can't remember at the very top maybe your first post you referred to his gender.

    Aw relax friend! The question just gave me a chuckle because it seemed random since Tapioca didn't look that big to me for a male his age. Don't worry I don't think anything bad about it, no misinterpretation! Just amused :)

    As for Tapioca, I doubt I was accidentally sold a female since Royal Constrictor Designs/Garrick Deymeyer is a highly reputable breeder. I did get Tapioca when he was 9 months old, which he was fed adult mice prior but I was lucky and had him transition to rats fairly quickly. The rat diet has definitely been giving him growth spurts! Mind you, I've only had him for a year but it's been fun watching him grow :)

    For reference, my girl is about the same size and only a year and 3 months. We got them around the same time, too. It'd probably be more accurate to compare their growth via how much they weighed at a certain age, though.

    I swear it still feels like we just got our babies a couple months ago! Can't believe how long it's actually been and how much they've grown since!
