sexing problem

[jay618]

I have 2 royals that are suposed to be females but after putting them together i hav noticed that they seemed to be joined at the tail end and now they have come unjoined one seems to have something that lookes like a piece of skin coming from its slit.Could it be that one was sexed wrong and could that be his manhood.

As long as they both have hemepenes coming from their Cloaca you should be ok. Joined tails is how they bread as this is where their cloacas are located. Hemepenes are plural; snakes are lucky, the males have two sex organs.

If you end up with a gravid female, read up on incubation, you have more snakes on the way.

Good luck

Aside from sexing them my question is why are those 2 “females” together?

If so that would be a new one on me.Considering : "..something that lookes like a piece of skin coming from its slit.."

I did not say they were females hence the "Females ", I was asking why 2 BP that were thought to be females were together in the first place.

...And it was a good catch AND a good question Deb

Ok. Sorry not trying to offend. I am slow today. I am guessing you meant why are they being housed together. I'm slow sometimes, sorry.

So, lets consider that you have a male and a female and that they have bred. What is the weight and age on your female?
