What is this ???

Those are spurs. The remains of hind legs I believe. They are usually larger in males and are used to "tickle" the females to get her ready to breed

That, is a snake's hiney.

I believe he's talking about what's inbetween the spurs... It looks like a sperm plug to me. If the snake recently shedded it could also be a piece of retained shed... That's my opinion...BUt I would say it's safe to say that it's a sperm plug. Whatever you do don't remove it!

I was told that if I was to see a sperm plug still attached to the snake not to remove it... Sounded like a good idea to me. I'd personally rather let the snake's dried up sperm come off on it's own as he slithered around his setup... I'm sure it's not too differen't than pulling it off yourself...But I'd feel pretty uncomfortable doing so... My opinion...:)

There is no reason not to pull it off ... just like a stuck shed ... remove it.

Without probing or popping it, there's no way to tell.

That right hand spur is pretty darn big to a female (although spur size is absolutely no scientific way to determine gender - probing by a professional is the best way).

I'd remove the stuck shed... but a sperm plug I would imagine would come off on it's own... EIther on the water dish or on the substrate... I wouldn't worry about it my pastel's came off on it's own...I never removed any of them.

I noticed this when i was looking her over realy good when i seen mites on my small female. No wonder they werent eating :( At least i know the cause now.

Why would you bother waiting if you're holding the snake and looking at it? ... It's not like it's attached to anything? Just more garbage to clean in your enclosure and more places for bacteria to grow ... grab it and throw it in the trash ... I don't understand why you wouldn't?

Cool had me woried even though im sure Ed wouldent give me a male as a female lol If it were a male im sure he would make good with me anyhow.
