I don't think this is a sufficient way to weigh your snake.

You really need a gram scale.

No one said it was from a pet store :confused:

Who did you get the possible male BP from? I only ask because I've yet to meet a breeder who doesn't know how to pop or probe a snake. I'm not saying there aren't people who breed their snakes out there who don't know how to do this, I'm just saying most breeders need to know how to do this if they are breeding and selling snakes. Also a good breeder will make a wrong back into a right. Last but not least mis sexing a snake happens, it happens to the best of the best breeders out there.

Also I know Target, Walmart, Lowe's Home depot sell pretty good scales that can both weigh lbs and grams. I'd run out and get one of those kind and weight him/her. The way you are doing it is not accurate at all.

What method did they use to sex it? Your other friends who are now telling you it's a male? D

Is this friend of a friend a breeder or just had one for sale and you bought it?? and by breeder I mean breeds and keeps proper records on all the animals and genetic heritage ect?

So, did they tell you it was a male because of the weight? Or did they actually use a reliable method of sexing it?
