When I purchased my second BP, Monty, I was told he is a male. I purchased him at a herpetological society, too. The man who sold him to me only took a good look at his tail, and said, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a male." so I just assumed that he was correct.

However, tonight while I was checking up on my BPs, I thought to myself to try and pop Monty (have popped my snakes before, so not new to popping). Before I popped him, I watched the 8BallPythons "Popping Lessons" video on YouTube to refresh my memory on how to do so (I knew how to do it already, just want to make sure I did it correctly). So, when I popped Monty, nothing came out. I saw those two small scent glands that the females seem to have. I popped a few more times, just to make sure I wasn't doing it incorrectly, but results were the same. Monty's anal spurs are somewhat larger than Candice's, and I have heard that a male's spurs were larger than a female's. Here's a picture, maybe you experienced poppers can help me out and tell me if I did the popping wrong (I have popped a male snake before too, and popped females as well, so not sure if I did anything wrong or not):



Sorry if the pic isn't so good.. my brother doesn't really know how to work my camera lol
