Wrong.
The only way to properly sex a ball python, and I'm sure we've all heard this one a THOUSAND times before is popping or probing. Your pet store employees method is about as accurate as asking the snake itself.

Sssamy accepted her first fuzzy today YES I am a happy man.

I went thru the book 'reptiles and amphibians for dummies' by Patricia Bartlett, she says on page 240 that boas and pythons have visible cloacal spurs that are noticeably larger on males than on females.

Got the same info here: Ball Pythons ( I hope it is OK to show URL) and here Ball Python - Royal Python Information Sheet

But here, it says the opposite Untitled Document

and as a conclusion
ADW: Python regius: Information


I do not want to start a war here, it is just that I am getting contradicting info....... not easy to make my mind as a rookie
