ok like i said i was just wondering i didnt want to make a big ordeal about it, mine worked out fine from the pet store and i plan on going back there if i get another. my other came from a reptile expo and she is fine. if i do find out the sexes are wrong it is no big deal all i have to worry about is changing their names. im really not worried about the sexes i just adore the snakes. and i like my store because they will let you hold them and look them over before you buy. but like i said i was just curious and i got my answer..........
