Well, I asked Scott at RedbarnRetiles if he could pop him for me and kindly said he would. So he popped "it" and as soon as he tried we could see plugs, then out came a hemipene. So its confirmed that "it" is actually a "he".... which is unfortunate for me though not too much as I only paid $10 for which was in gas. So I'm yje "lucky one" with a 5ft male ball python. woopee
