My male is female!

I got my "male" normal last August and he has been growing like a weed! He is 7 months and 626 grams. I just took the breeders word as I never popped a snake before. I learned how to pop on youtube and popped him. I was curious because of the size of him. When I popped him, it looked like a female to me so I took him to my local retile store and they confirmed it! He is actually a she!!!

Well lucky lucky you. I had the opposite happen to me.........grrrrrr.
We could trade the next time one of us drives across the country.

That is crazy, where did you get her from

I got her from my sister in law's boyfriend. He bred his snakes and has a large collection(about 50) so I just took is word on it! They are not together anymore. I am okay with him being female! I am going to a show on sunday and was going to buy a female but now I am shopping for a male! I want a spider!

Yeah, that sucks when that happens expecially if you were looking to breed them and its the wrong sex. That happens at our show a lot, thats why we recommend having a different vendor who is well known pop the snake, and if the sex is wrong go and get your money back if you over paid for it.

that why i ask Carl or Lou to sex them for me if i dont know for sure. lue checked my male pastel het axanthic and he told me it was a girl i was happy cause i got the better end of the trade i told the guy i traded he really didnt care so i got a pastel female and a pastel het axanthic female with paper work for $350 worth of stuff

this happened to me 2 years ago. so now i have a female normal named Frank.

WOW! the mistake is usually a female that's becomes a male. When you pop sometimes you don't get a male to show and think it's a female. But how do you pop a female to make it look like a male? He had to see something to think it was a male. what the scent glands? :rolleye2:

the youger a snake is the easier it is to pop. with age comes muscle control. so a 3 week old snake would be easier to pop than an older snake.
