    You can not tell for sure the sex of a ball python by looking at the spurs in a pic.Have someone who knows what they are doing probe it for you.

    Probing or popping by an experienced keeper, breeder or vet is the only certain way of knowing your snake's gender. Spur size, shape, etc. or the length or shape of the tail are not considered reliable indicators of gender.
