Het Pied Additions, Assistance Needed Please

Ok, so I feel like a major noob but I need assistance with the latest pickups. I obtained these two het pieds from him today, but upon popping the second one I was in limbo :confusd: on the sex although leaning towards a female. A fellow breeder also popped the alleged female and was in limbo as well.. No hemi's popped out like all the others. See below and let me know please. :gj::D

Obvious Male when popped het pied..

Looks female to me but I double check all my girls with the probe anyway.

When I saw it I thought male but other people said female. I would just probe to see.

With a snake that young, the penes would pop right out. That looks like a girl.

It's s female those are musk glands!!!

Female :)

Yeah, females that pop all the way have "horns" that can scare you out into believing you've got a male. My het lavender female worried me for a long time, even after the vet probed her and assured me she was a girl. But then she went on to lay two clutches for me... so yeah, I guess she's a girl.

Also, I'm terrible at popping? So I've wound up taking all my clutches this year to the vet and paying to have them probed. And after 3 clutches, I felt confident enough about it to buy my own probe set, and OMG I'M NEVER GOING BACK.

ps. those are excellent popping pictures. Normally they're all out of focus and blurry, but you did good. :gj:

Thanks so much for everyone's support! I'll try to get a probe kit somewhere as soon as possible just to cover all bases. I'll keep everyone updated ;-)

Well I took the baby in question to a local pet store and the employee probed "him" :O, and yeap I said "him". She put the probe in and marked it with her finger which resulted in about a 1/2" or so in length.... Anyone interested in a male 100% Het Pied :snake: ? I guess I'm just disappointed she turned out to be a he, and the results of the popping had me confused..

PM sent.... I still think its a female. How Mich does he/she weigh?

I'll have to weigh it soon.. I'm guessing its around 90-100 grams.. guessing :P

So they were both males then?

Well one was an obvious male, the other one that was in question was probed at the local pet shop. The employee said male, and the red spots are the penes of the snake. Still, nothing pokes out like all the other obvious males in the clutch.

Well.... he is either very humble, or will probably have small penes syndrome!!

I saw the two red spots- untypical of a female, but no protrusions at all on either side. My hatchlings were all obviuos.

That is a wierd on for sure.

I personally think the limbo is a male as well. That too red to be a girl.


Check out what's new on my website... www.Homegrownscales.com

I would have doubted the probe job on a hatchling, except he had it done where I have all my bp's checked as well :D

Good people there. He saved me a hassle at the Daytona expo. Caught a breeder trying to pass off a male SuperPastel as a female- and there was no question about that popping!!

Yeap,, Good people at MrPetman in South Daytona Florida.. Just to make things even more solidified I had it probed by another shop.. same result.. :(
