I would say the most common mistake when sexing is mistaking a male for a female because someone tried to pop unsuccessfully and upon not seeing hemipenes you think you got a girl.

C-O-L-A Cola.... I think Lola would be a great name for a snake. Male OR female.
And yes, I've also popped out mucus plugs from females that looked like sperm plugs. EVERY body who has done this for any length of time has mis-sexed a snake one time or another. If you think it'll never happen to you, trust me, it will sooner or later.
This is good to know! I will definitely get him/her properly sexed. Maybe my girl just popped some pseudo sperm plugs I am, after all, not a pro at popping....
