New baby is here! (caution: pics)

Thanks DR.

Jonah, :D I'm glad you like that name. I guess if I get another one just as "brave" as Sir NAITF, he could be Sir Robin. :lol: Before I commit to a name like Bert or Ernie, I'm going to want to know gender for sure. I could go with something like "Lefty," but I think this one has more personality than that. Lots of possibilities!

Sir Wigglesalot :D :( :mrgreen:

OK, I'm not gonna get wound up here, because I know it's not a reliable indicator of sex, but the new arrival's tail looks just like the one given as an example of a female's tail in The Ball Python Manual and not at all like the example of a male's tail. If it's a girl, I think I'm going to call it Eve.

You can tell from the tail?

Not reliably, no. But in general, females have longer, more slender tails and males have stubbier ones.

My vet told me the other way around :?

Oops. I suppose I could scan in the examples from the book if needed, but I'd rather not because it would be a copyright violation. Maybe I could get tail photos for comparison, though.

Maybe my vet is a stupid ninny :roll:

LOL I didn't say that. Here, I scanned it in for you.
