There is no dumb question! You only learn by asking questions! Now you learned something new so it wasn't a dumb question! That python was probably "vicious" because it was stressed! It has no hide and no covering on the sides and back of the tank! He will probably settle right down in good husbandry! As to the males being females, I would get a second opinion! The chances of a breeder mistaking a female for a male is extremely rare, nevermind happening twice! Males sometimes get mistaken as females but if you seen hemipenes, you know 100% it's male so they breeder must have seen the hemipenes to label it male! If the breeder made a mistake that bad, he really needs a lesson on sexing! What is his name? I would like to buy some females at male prices!
It's been a wild chromosome ride, for sure.
I've got one vote for male and two votes for female.
[now the poor thing's been probed and popped]
If the breeder did make a mistake, you can bet he's going to quintuple check his hatchlings every day now so the chance of getting more for less has probably come and gone.
I love the snake no matter what it is and I can always find workarounds.
The poor Python in the store was allegedly "much nicer" that day than when he first came in.
I can only assume that means he was carrying guns and knives prior to when we saw him.
Pet stores can be houses of horror.
There are some baby BPs in Frederick MD that are literally starving to death and the kid working just said he'd tell the 'snake worker' the next day that I said the food was too small and too infrequent for their age.
I can't bear the thought of going back to check on them.
One I was watching in the local PetSmart 'disappeared' between visits and I don't think it 'went to a Happy New Home".....
