ok, to further weirden this story, I sold the male. I went to pick up the other snake that the seller had that was definitely a female (he had 2 females and a male originally. I popped the other one, female. Bought this female, turned out to be a male, then went back and bought the other one for a sure female). So, I got home and popped this new female to be sure...male.
So, I actually sold the female...Now I really have the male for sure. The cool thing is, the dude I sold HER to will swap me for the new male, he wanted a male anyway, haha...oh boy the drama!
