Sexing was wrong

So i bought a male Ball python from Petsmart about a month ago there where 2 caged together I asked for the male and he grabbed the bigger of the two and said it was the male , I believed him because I knew nothing about snakes at the time , well after popping "him" today he has no hemipenes what so ever then I popped my friends hatchling male and there was toni hemipenes so Dante is a she and i need a new name … My other snakes name is Selene I want another female name thats pretty cool if anyone wants to help I currently have no names in mind because this came as a shock

U sure u did it right popping little ones can be hard at 1st cause ur scared u squeeze to hard I just made a good video on popping .. u should check it out .. lmk if u want the link

send me the link I'm pretty sure i did it right bc i popped my other female and i popped his male and i got hemipenes on his and my female i didn't and when i popped my "male" i got no hemipenes and i did it 3 times every time showed no hemipenes

Nice video I will try it your way and also was that a thermostat on the third box ? The wire I didn't recognize it

Yea its a thermal n hydro reader .. there ok I bought a bunch of them of eBay a while back fo rlike 4 bucks I bought them just to measure humidity ... but I hardly use them anymore .. I just set up a humidifier in my snake room n used them to see if there's a big difference

Ya i just use a humidity gauge but i have thermostats , My humidity stays average about 40-50 but around shed i mist and add wet moss bumps it up to high 80's I only keep it there for a few days bc I'm scared of scale rot but the sheds have been great since i started adding the moss in the hides

and once again it shows no hemipenes i think the employee grabbed any snake and said a random sex because I'm starting to see more and more the information they told me is false like she told me to get a 55 for a baby ball i have more then 2/3 of the tank blocked off now bc they had no clue

Either way, what's wrong with the name Dante? Who gives a crap if it's a "girl" or "boy" name. :) If you wanted a bad ass female name, there it is.
Gender is what you make it. It is fluid, and it is a human invention.

Cheers!

If she wasn't cute u would disagree lmao ...

And yeah most people at pet stores dont know anything especially big chains ... there are some places that take pride in what they do and know what there doing but thats rare ... tomorrow im about to go try n set the lady that owns this little mom n pop pet store straight. ... She has no clue how to care for ball pythons and has one in her store ... I'm s such a sham .. u know what she put on the glass ... ball pythons are finicky eaters so sold as is .. theres a heat rock in there no hide .. smh .. so im gonna go school her tomorrow she will probably kick me out of her store but its worth a shot .. u shouldn't sell anything if u dont have any knowledge on it

good one! many years back, i had a kitten named charlene because my dad told me it was a girl. it grew up to be a huge tomcat and was the absolute king of the neighborhood cats despite his feminine name.


to the OP, you are lucky. it would have sucked if you needed a female but instead got a male. a sexing error is a none issue if intended for pets, but is a major downer if you have plans breeding.
