I may have to disagree with you there. I have an 8 month old bp (Caesar) and his tail is exactly what you described. I know he's a male because not only did I probe him, he is producing sperm. That's why they say the only ACCURATE way to sex a snake is to have it probed; or if it is very young (2 weeks old or less) it can get popped to sex it. On a species like rattlesnakes, you can accurately sex them 85% of the time by looking at the length of their tail. Just not the case with most boids.

Anyway, great looking ball python!
