    About 95% positive he's a she...

    I popped my normal, but I was fearful of injury since I'm new to popping, so I can't be 100% sure but I think I just discovered "Slevin" is a female.
    Which, in that case, means I can purchase her a nice male morph for future breeding projects!
    After I have someone confirm, of course.. wouldn't want to be male-heavy.
    She's at 336g right now and gaining, but I'm curious, is it possible her growth may have been stunted since she was so severely under weight for the first 22 months of her life? If so, maybe breeding would not be the best future for her..

    You may be right, but I popped my male BP Cleo MANY times correctly and couldn't get anything out because he held 'em in, little sucker.
    Took me quite a few tries to discover he was a male.

    That's why I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Lol but it would be nice because she (or maybe he?) was free and morph males cost significantly less!

    Re: About 95% positive he's a she...

    I think she would be fine for breeding if she gets large enough. Snakes are very tolerant of famine so I think she will be fine
    0.1 Normal Ball Python--> Tuna
    0.0.1 Anery Cornsnake---> Sable


    I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.

    Good She'll be 2yrs old on April 30th, so there's still a while for her to grow larger.. I can hardly wait.

    You should try again or take it somewhere to be sure. It's easy to pop a male as female if you don't apply the correct pressure where necessary.
