How do you determine gender of a ball python snake?

Answer 1

There are two methods to determine a snake's gender, "popping" and "probing". Popping is a method of squeezing the tale which will expose the sexual organs (called hemipenes) on male snakes. The other method, probing, involves inserting a probe into the pocket behind the anal slit to determine the size of the pocket, from which the gender can be determined. Probing is more definitive, but is a more delicate procedure you may want to leave to a vet. Popping is safe and easy, although failure to expose the hemipenes may indicate a female when the subject is actually a male.

Answer 2

There are two ways to tell the gender of a Ball Python.

1) Probing

2) Popping

Females are generally larger than males, but it is an unreliable method of finding out the sex.

Popping is very dangerous and should not be done by anyone that does not have experience.

I suggest taking your Ball Python to a vet and letting them find out.
