Good New's and Bad New's

from the herpetocultural library ball python book "Both sexes of ball pythons have large cloacal spurs. in most abult specimens, the spurs of intact males are larger and have a more inward hook then the spurs of females. however, the spursof older adult male ball pythons are often worn, there tips blunt and rounded, and sometimes they appear smallerthen the spurs of a female of similar size." but they r right about 2 things use a lubricated porb and get some that know what there r doing.

This book was published in 1997, when the ball python craze was just getting started.

Since then, we've learned a LOT more about the anatomy of ball pythons. Check out Kevin McCurley's book as well as VPI's book for more recent information.

well if u look at the spers on the tale if they point a little inword its a boy if there strate or point outword its a girl. if your still not sure, u know about the retile barn i tald u about that is right down the road from u. just go there and they will check it for free. the use probs to stick in the snake and if the prob goes in close to a inch or more its a male if it does go in that far like 1/4 of a inch its a female

Wrong you can not tell the sex by the spurs.All pythons have them.

I had a large FEMALE and her spurs were VERY large and she was a female for sure as she dropped eggs for me .Please stop telling people to rely on sexing by looking at the spurs.
