Answer 1

put it in front of your tv and then get some hot chick on the screen and if its  head goes up you have a boy, if not try putting a hot guy on the screen and if its lips get wet you have a girl

Answer 2

Answer 3

Unless you are a qualified breeder or experienced owner, its best to not probe or pop your snake, you can seriously injure it.

Take your snake to a vet or to a python club in your area and find a specialist that can do it for you.  

Answer 4

the male will have a long thick tail tapering slowly.

the female will a shorter tail that tapers quickly.

But the best way is to have it probed by the vet.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Hi Nick ,

The most accurate way to s*x a ball python is to have a qualified reptile vet or experienced breeder probe it for you. "Popping" is also an accurate method if done correctly. Either of these methods can cause serious injury to the snake if done incorrectly. The size of the spurs and/or shape of the tail is not an accurate way to determine the s*x.

Good luck.
