    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

    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.
