I can always see the spurs on all my ball pythons, big and small, male and female. I guess when they evert, the spurs might be more visible as the muscles around the vent area contract (make sense?)

Saoirse, an adult female unknown if ever bred, everted under stress....Rionach, who was about 7 months at the time everted while being handled and was not stressing obviously (but could well have been stressed and I wasn't picking it up). I'm unsure if my stroking her lower belly area triggered it. In both cases it was extremely quick and I didn't even see as much as in Emily's picture of her snake.
