just got bac from the vet and guess wat !!!! :( and name ideas

[tysonsowner]

let me just start explaining why im so upset. first i was a newb to the snake world and i bought my normal tyson at a pet store. was told he only ate frozen thawed that was a complete lie. i was told he was no older than 6-8 months but the vet says more like 1 1/2 - 2 years old, i was also told all kinds of things about caring for him that was so completly wrong. finally i was told he was a male so thats why i purchesed my female mystery morph (still havnt confirmed what she is yet)- ( i was wanted the female to maybe one day breed the two i had written a post on this). and the vet just told me my tyson my male normal bp is adang ol female. i can not stress enough how important it is to purchase from a good breeder. next thing they will tell me SHES not a bp SHES a bearded dragon lol. but anyways yes pet tores will tell you whatever you want to hear so beware they are complete liars. but on a good note SHES healthy as can be. and i still love the hell outta her i dont really care about the breeding it was just a possibility that might have wanted to explore.

AND FINALLY!!!

since tyson is a she anybody got any good suggestions on a FEMALE name have fun ill post which name i picked tonight

How exactly did the vet determine that he was a she?

she stuck like a plastic tooth pick looking thing inside her. then she said im about 99.9% sure hes a she but theres always a chance i could be wrong. lease dont tell me this is wrong cuz i paid the 60 bucks for the check up just so i could e sure of the sex

X 2 plus how did he determine that the animal was 1.5 to 2 years instead of 9 months

No clue how a vet could say your snake is older than you think it is... other than a baby vs. an adult. As far as probing goes.. it's not always right, you might STILL have a he.

At any rate, Tyson is a good girl name too.

Sounds like the vet probed it. I would also like to know how they determined how old it was too....

Heck, I'd be happy to find out he was a she xD male morphs tend to be a little cheaper

yes probing thats wat she called it and how accurate is it how cn i tell for sure. and as far as age goesshe just said really its hard to tell but from her 30 years exp and based on feeding once every week she would be some where between the 1 1/2 - 2 yr old range. she said 9 months she had never seen a norm bp that long at 9 months. but it was just her opinion like i said. i do kno she wieghs 176 grams according to their scale

+2 for you m'dear! That's a really good point if you decide you want to breed.
