Ahhhh my male is a female but get this...

So I found out my male is actually a female not through sexing but through the fact that SHE is pregnant. So that means not only is my male a female but my female pastel is a male??!!!??!!! '

I got the normal as a male from someone I knew, later got her sexed at NERD and was told she was a male. Later on I got a female pastel that I popped myself and thought I saw hemipenes which I thought was wrong and blew it off since it was the first time I ever popped a snake. Brought HIM to NERD and they sexed HIM as female?

So I had been breeding these snakes and saw multiple locks so I figured all was well. Well now I have a pregnant female normal and a male pastel that I thought was female!

I had posted this picture earlier and people told me that it was weird that the male was on top because usually it's the other way around. Well they were right

I just can't believe how coincidental this all is. :rolleye2:
I managed to have two missexed snakes and now a pregnant female, so ended up working out. :8:

HAHA Not such a bad thing since it all worked out well in the end!

How do you know the one snake is prego? it could very well be that hey are BOTH males... Males will "lock up"...

She (the normal) is over 500 grams more then a couple months ago and she hasn't had a meal in that time. Also she is visibly (you can really tell) fatter in the second part of her body. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. From this info I am guessing she is a she, but man would it suck if she was a male.

did you contact the breeder that you bought the pastel from? if she is indeed a he you probably paid $250ish for a $75-100 snake

Did you mean 500 or 1500 grams? If you meant 500, I'd be keeping a really close eye on her as her gestation progresses. But by the pics of the lock-up, Im guessing you meant 1500.

I think she meant her female has gained more than 500g in a month.

Amazing bunch of coincidences... at least you are getting eggs! :D

However, as I'm sure you are aware, the value of the pastel is much less as a male than as a female. If I understood your post correctly, you bought it at NERD. I would expect they would stand behind the sexing of the animal they sold, and do something for you to make it right.

Incidental Coincidences.... My head hurts. :rofl:

He didn't get it from NERD, he had it sexed at NERD, but I'm wondering if he had it sexed at Zoo Creatures (the pet store downstairs), because Kevin can pop a snake like no-one's business! I know, because he taught me how to pop.

The employees of the pet store, however, would be more likely to make a mistake.
