Lol I haven't even read the other threads but if you were prying your snakes mouth open to look for RI and now trying to pop it to sex it and having friends try and pop it, I do feel sorry for that poor snake. You do know you can hurt them if you try and pop them the wrong way. Like I said, you need to just enjoy the snake as it is, boy or girl or whatever and put away a "nest egg" of money for if you have to take that snake to the vet because I can tell you right now, reptile vets are not cheap. I had to take Harley to the vet for light RI and after all was said and done with the medicine, it cost me $300 in vet bills.

Oh and if you aren't familiar with how to do it, I would take it to a reptile vet who is experienced with it and they can show you. Sure you have to pay but that is part of owning a pet. Buying the pet is really the cheap part. Its the housing, heating and especially feeding that gets expensive. Heck for the list of gals and my 1 little man in my sig, they run me over $100 a month in just food....I really just need to buy a mini chest freezer and order online lol.
Sorry for missing this one, dude.

I know nothing of females and egg laying yet, so I assumed that females will lay unfertilized eggs during their cycle? Like birds? I've never ever read up on this and haven't yet done so.

So I don't know how they act if such an event happens. What leads up to it. Decreasing/increasing temperatures. Fasting. Or how to safely remove them.

Or perhaps they are like us and it only "lay" eggs when they are fertile. (Like unfertilized eggs won't attach to the lining, where as fertile ones will and will grow.)
