    It's a male if you want to keep him healthy and feeding with consistency (so you don't end up complaining that your snake won't eat) feed small rat weekly.

    Those animals have a slow metabolism and need to be fed accordingly to metabolism, sex and size even the largest males do not require more than a 75 grams rat weekly which still falls in the small category some people will even feed males every 10 days.

    Over feeding is a real issue so is the increase of fatty liver issue in BP.

    A male is supposed to be lean it's not a female.
