Tinks: Unfortunately, there's no surefire way to tell which is male or female unless you get the snake popped or probed by an expert.

Having talking about male or female. I brought my ball to the reptile show in Abbotford yesterday and have Henry check. Turn out Anna is a girl. and I used to think Anna is a male while some snake keeper said the same thing. I bought one more female ball from Henry for my daughter and she has her own ball now. :medbigsmi
What a great day in the show.

I haven't found a difference in size between the sexes. Females SEEM to get bigger, but that's because breeders GUN them ahead to get them to breeding size. Males can be pinners and still breed, so why bother pumping them full to the brim.

I agree with Jeff. Most of them seems to be fat rather than big. some get into quite long but not always the case. My ball even smaller than some male even eat like a pig.
