Warm water encourages exposed hemipenes?

[Kaetlinv]

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I've popped my smaller ball python Romeo several times and gotten 'female' results. Romeo has been probed by a 'professional' (I have no clue if this really happened or if they were professional...) that said Romeo was a female.

As I posted on my thread specifically for Romeo, I gave Romeo a warm water soak this evening to help with his upcoming shed and when I went to take him out, when I looked down at the tail hemipenes were sticking out a good half inch or so. I've tried looking around to see if warm water would influence a male to expose his hemipenes, but no luck.

Do male snakes do this randomly, or would the warm water be a factor in it?
