gender chalanged Royal

[Snakes_in_a_shed]

i bought a female royal the other week and it probed it as a female and the persons house so i took it home and then after a few days the spurs made me have another go and it probed as a male............so i contacted the guy and said he would have to take it back he was sure it was a female so i got him over and showed it being probed again and i popped it in from of him and it popped as a female.....i know that they can hold there hemi-penis in but i am 99.9% sure after a few subsiquent pops that this is not the case....also the probe size is deeper than i have ever seen going up to almost 17 scales..........i have herd of probing young females and bursting the lining inside there tales and this can give a false sexing as male so my thinking is that in its first sexing thats what might have happened

basicley i am just looking for some input as to weither this can actuly happen and if so is there is a way i can determin if the lining in her tail has been burst or not

thanks in advance
