    Off of what did they make this assumption? Because it is very inconclusive to sex a bp from looking at it. I mean the head and tail can point to male or female but I'd say go with the sex that the guy you bought it from told you FOR NOW. If you are uncertain, you can have it probed by a vet or someone who has experience with probing.

    I disagree, you can't tell the sex of a BP just by looking at the head or tail. Each individual can have variations in head shape...for example super cinnies sometimes have tweaked heads, doesn't mean that they are all one sex. Personally I'd have the snake sexed again.

    I'll agree with that. When in doubt, seek those that know how to probe or "pop" snakes to confirm sex.
