thats what else i was thinking but then nothing came out... thank goodness

Is there really any point to sex your snake if your not breeding them besides curiosity?

In my opinion, nope.

Oh and nothing came out the first time this aforementioned snake did it, as well... but in the process, she did end up peeing. I wonder if it's a defensive gesture

Nope! On some species of lizards and frogs, only males have spurs (I can think of Chameleons off the top of my head)... but as far as BPs, they all do, unless they fall off throughout their life (which is okay and 'normal' too).

LOL I think we've all done this at some point in time....

Okay wait.. what are spurs? All i know is that they are they pokey things on the side.

**nimblykimbly** · 02-28-2013, 01:18 AM

They are vestigial legs.... the remnants of back legs from when they evolved into snakes.
