gender

[alexrls]

i remeber reading that you can tell what gender a BP is by looking at its tail has anyone else heard this?

and if so what are the indications of male or female?

[rex322]

its not very accurate. a short tale means male, while longer is female

The ball python manual has photos of both, side by side for comparison.

[Marla]

And there are at least two threads already where I've either posted the photo from the book for comparison, or posted a link to the thread where the photo is posted. Have a look for yourself.

i have another question about gender. i was holding apollo the other day, and as he was going through my hands, i could feel some bump by his anal spurs, which im assuming are his male parts. is that what it was?? because when i poke around at Pandora, there's no bumps. could that possibly be a way to tell the difference??

[sk8er4life]

so according to that pic Monty is a she not a he

oh well but its not 100% acuarate right? then the only acurate way is probing

[sk8er4life]

yes that is true... see i saw that first and i assumed mine was a female and then i got her probed andit turns out she was, so i think its pretty acurite but not 100%
