Now, onto something interesting - Buggsie might actually be a girl. We hadn't previously tried to pop 'him', taking the rescue's word that he was a 'he' because he looked more like a string impersonating a snake than an actual snake. Tonight we decided that - while still not a healthy weight - that he had put on enough padding that a gentle hand would be unlikely to harm him. Nothing popped out. Now we're not sure if we were a little to gentle, or if he's actually a girl but after three attempts, nothing that I would categorize as a hemipene came out. While I'm not ready to say for sure 'he' is actually a 'she' right now, it would be interesting. We've decided to wait until Buggsie has filled in a bit better and then check again when we're not so apprehensive about his size.
boy or girl, i think u gotta put a hat on it.
when Buggsie gets big and strong enough, it's photoshoot time with a nice, pretty hat.
