No, didn't pay 50 bucks. I paid $200. It is the pastel I recently posted in the pictures section.

I plan to call the reptile shop tommorow (they were closed today). I will tell him that I belive it is a male, but will know for sure when it is sexed on Saturday....

Fact is, even tho he doesn't fit in my breeding plans, we really like him. he is beautiful, acts perfectly, has already shed, and eats like a champ. He has the best looking eyes I have seen so far.... BUT, it was my intent to spent $200 on a FEMALE that fit my breeding plans!!! :8: I already have an 1100 gram 2006 Graziani male pastel!

So, in my situation, what would you do? I know it is up to me, but I am really struggling here.

If you like the male you have now, better than the old one keep the new one, and sell the old one to me for 50.00 :cool: lol jk.

can't - stop - stop - laughing!

I'd first call the store that sold you the animal and tell them it's a male and ask them what they'd like to do to remedy the problem. If they're gonna be tools about the gender (i.e., they don't trust you), then get them to pay for a vet visit for a certifiable sexing. Hopefully the store will be cool and ask you what you want (partial refund from what you are saying since you really like the snake). =)

hahaha... this is hilarious... Unfortunatley it is a male, or at least I would say that it is a male, so it's not that funny that you didn't get what you paid for. But not everyone is perfect, especially when it comes to sexing a snake.

Bottom line. It is either a tiny pene (gasp) or a giant set of.... scent glands. I will let the vet sort it out. Hopefully it is a pair of big ones, not a little tiny pene.
