Is this one of the 2% of females with a spur or a missexed male?

Hi guys!

A good friend of mine purchased this snake from a very reputable breeder as a feamle a few years back and gave her to me recently when he had to move. I was hoping to breed her this year but noticed the spurs!

I've read that "some" females have smaller spurs but these seem to be the same size as the male "she's" intended for. Am I totally up a creek?

I'm thinking you're up a creek...it wouldn't hurt to attempt the breeding, but they look more like male spurs to me...
Notice how they're curved, pointy & stick out a bit. Spurs on a female should be smaller & blunted.
Good luck though!

Thanks for the reply!

I guess I could always put them together and supervise to be sure. I will probably sell them both off as males, but want to be sure before I do.
