    boy or girl ???
    Hi everyone,
    i got my neighbour to take a pic of my BP while i popped him. after all the info you guys gave me on telling males and females apart i thought it would be far easier for me to post a couple of pics and see what you thought.
    i had to do it twice cos the guy couldnt work my camera properly and poor snakey went a bit pink :(
    if you think you know what you're seeing then please vote and if you have the time please elaborate with a post.
    many thanks in advance, Mike...

    Looks like a female but a male with good muscle control can with hold his stuff and look like a female.

    From those pics I'd say female

    You can actually pop adult snakes, but past two or three months, the snakes have a lot more muscle control, which means that the hemipenes (if there are any) may still be being held in by the snake.

    (I wouldn't recommend trying to sex any snake past 6 months with the popping method).

    It would be a girl, if your doing it right.

    How experienced are you at popping? Have you ever popped a snake before this one?

    Just because you don't see the hemipenes, doesn't mean he's not keeping them in because he is over 3 months old. If you don't have a lot of experience, you very well could be missing the hemipenes.
