Re: This is Pete he likes to play the geetar...
I think "he" is probably most likely a "she" because of that size. If you're truly curious you could get someone experienced to probe him. Out of curiosity, how old is he?

Re: This is Pete he likes to play the geetar...
It looks like a morph. I haven't got a clue what kind though. Can you fill the idiot in? Also do you have a good pic of the vent area? Preferably a side shot.

it looks as though it could be a normal but I'm a BP idiot too...I do know that normals can be polymorphic so...

He doesn't have any black. He looks chocolaty brown to me.

Re: This is Pete he likes to play the geetar...
mine doesnt really have any either. Like I said normals are polymorphic they can look extremely different from one another especially if they have some other gene embedded.

Both male and female ball pythons have spurs, and the size of the spurs won't tell you the sex of the snake. Best way for an adult is to have him probed by someone who's more experienced. Then again, if you're not interested in breeding, there's no reason to find out. He/she will be a great pet, and the sex won't factor into that

Re: This is Pete he likes to play the geetar...
According to a very experienced herper on here male boids have a large bump behind the vent.

Re: This is Pete he likes to play the geetar...
Im guessing female because of the size, you cant feel the bump behind the vent when BPs get bigger only on babies, I think she is too big to pop so the only way to make sure is to probe, if you was closer i would help with that. And you cant sex by the spurs my female normal has bigger ones then the male im breeding her to.

Yep, a sexually mature male will have a noticeable lump where his junk is (just after the vent). While it's true that both sexes will have spurs, in males they're usually quite a bit larger than on your average female.
There's nothing saying it's not a big, healthy male, although first impressions of it's size would lead one to guess that it's a female.
Another non-invasive way to get an idea of it's sex is to let it crawl off your hand and apply a small amount of pressure underneath it while it's tail passes between your fingers. If you're gentle, you won't do any damage, but you will feel things squishing around if it's a male.
