Most pet stores don't know how to sex their snakes - I've picked up two adult female ball pythons that were surrendered to my local pet store. They just let me probe any surrendered animals to determine sex, and they know any that I don't take are males! LOL

However, they sell them all for the same price - they just want to move them out - the average pet store customer wants a cute baby, not an adult, so the adults just languish there. They price them lower than the babies to try to move them out.
