Sexing ball pythons
well, I dont know if this should be in the ball python thread or the DSG thread but at the next meeting is it possible anyone would do me a favour and show me how to sex a ball python at the next durham snake group meeting? I mean reading it is one thing but I would prefer to hear it from someone in person thanks.

The only sure way to tell is to probe the snake. Other than that the only physical differences I know of (according to my snake's vet) is the size of the anal spurs. Females will be smaller and stubbier than males. Also, the distance from the vent to the tip of the tail. I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I believe females have a shorter distance than males.
