You can pop a ball python but probing is always the number one way I'll have him or her probe to when I take them to the vet to find out, if the prolapse doesn't get in the way. if the prolapse needs to be dealt with first then we'll do that and then we can find out the sex. it doesn't really matter to me if it's a boy or girl I just have never seen a male get that big before I've only seen smaller males so far. I do have a weighing scale and I have an index card file for each and every single one of my snakes. every time I feed them, every time they shed, what their weight is before each feeding, when they poop, when I change their water, their decor, their sunstrate, i record temps and humidy every week, anything I can think of that would add data I have put in this card system. I'm currently learning the ways of Zoological facilities and how they take care of their animals and husbandry so you could say I'm above the average Joe Schmo who walks down the street and decides they want a ball python. I'm not a beginner snake keeper if that's what you were thinking.
Living the dream in Key West FL, an island where ball pythons seemingly come outta nowhere and into my lap to be rescued/rehabilitated...
0.1 Narcissa Malfoy 'Cissy' - Bumblebee - Age 6 - 2164g - Light case of the wobbles, rescued from breeding to future wobblers...
0.1 Lucie - Normal - Age 3.5 - 1718g - Rescued from severe abuse and neglect and after 1.5 years of constant work, she's living proof that you CAN train/condition a snake!
0.1 Alice - Yellowbelly - Age 1 - 554g - Dumped and found by local shelter, underweight and dehydrated (working on that right now)
0.1 Mrs.P - Normal - Age ~10 - 2604g - Dumped and found by the same shelter, has two cysts and a prolapse that has healed outside the body. Doesn't seem to cause issues...
GOT Q'S?
ASK!!!!!!!
