So Confused

[Viper76]

So I purchased my Albino Ball In 2007, I order an 1.0 Male, When I received it, I pop it and I think it turn out to be female, So when time goes by, That Albino is adult, so I plan to breed her, Since she an albino, I might want to breed her with my Male Mojave if she reach breeding weight..

So Before I breed her, I just want to sex it again just to make sure, Since a friends got probing set, so I ask his help to sex it again, and it go deep, oh my, is a he after all. Then all plan changed, since the albino is only 1400kg. So i decided to pair with my 2100kg normal female. No sign or anything that he want to mate.

Albino


Normal Female


So I take my another normal male, maybe that can stimulate that albino mood to be combat with another male so maybe he will start mating n Iremove the female. So this what happen







Now I am very confused, is he a she? as i original think of, or it was just a gay snake. I dont want to breed her to a normal 1.0 male if it really turn to be female after all.

You should be 100% sure of the sex before you just start throwing snakes together.

Get the sexes right then think who you are going to put with who.

Males will sometimes lock with Males.
I recommend taking it to a good breeder or vet to get it sexed. If it was sold to you as a male I think it's probably a male because it's rare for males to be mistaken because once you seen the peens, you know it's a male for sure.

You sure that normal male is a male?
It doesn't look very big.. and if it is a female, it could be too small to breed. I recommend you get all your snakes double checked by a good breeder or vet before pairing anymore. Combat with males isn't recommended because they could hurt each other with all the shoving around the enclosure.

From where I come from, u be surprise if i tell i that there are no reptiles vet here or any breeder, infact i might the 1st if do successfully breed those ball from where i come from., From Borneo Island btw. I purchase that from a pet shop which they make an order for me from the states. which they don't know nothing about snakes, just want to make money of me quickly. That albino, i never seen here penis, when I got it in 2007, i pop it, never see any penis, until recently when friends got probing set, n sex it for me, it go deep, then i think is male so do he. that normal is 100% male, coz i pop it n the hemipenis came out n it was probe too.

You could be probing it wrong since you said no one knows what they are doing in your area.Not trying to put you or anyone down by no means here .I am just going by what you wrote.Infact if you really dont know how to probe properly you could damage your snakes

Find youtube and search for Ralf Davis videos. Find the one on popping snakes and learn how to sex your animals. Or go to 8 ball pythons site and see adam's video of the same thing.

I actually did learn from you tube, book and all that, As i say,I check all sex snakes, And i really think my albino is female when I got it, coz i pop it, no hemipenis, till recently a friends sex it again because im planning to breed it n turn out to be male, since he got the probing set, even we dont have any reptiles vet here,we learn from book, google, reptile website n so on..

In my opinion its still not the same as learning with someone showing how to probe safely .Do you think doctors learn from just reading books before they are turned loose to do surgeries? Nope
