    Female is a male!

    So I bought a pastel from a guy which he told me was a female. I left her alone for the last week to settle. So today I popped her to make sure and sure enough she was a he. Only good thing is that the spider that I bought as a male I'm pretty sure is a female. These are the only two snakes I've popped but I tried a few times on the spider and can't get any hemipenes. I'm pretty sure I see the white scent glans. I'm going to get someone more experienced to pop him/her though.

    Nah I got it from a guy on kijiji. I text the guy, he said he really thought it was a female and offered to give my money back.

    Could it be that you're not popping correctly? To have 2 snakes be the wrong sex on your first attempts at popping sounds like it could be a real possibility.

    That's the one thing that sucks when you get snakes from people other than breeders if you aren't well versed in popping. I pop every snake I get right away whether it's from a breeder or not.
