Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

There is no accurate way to determine sex by spur size. The only ways to properly sex a Regius is to have it popped or probed by a person that knows what they are doing.

I concur completely with the post just prior to mine. With some pythons and boas presence of spurs and/or spur size are an almost definite key to sexing the snakes; however, with Ball Pythons forget about it. Looking at spur size in BPs can be quite deceptive as males and females often have similarly sized spurs. The best way to sex a snake that size is to have it probed by someone with a proper set of probes who knows what he/she is doing.

Yup, probing and popping. Preferably probing. Popping can cause damage to the snake. Good luck!

how about a BP blowing bubbles?? i just went and checked on mine and saw him in his humidity retreat hide and he was just sitting there head up andmouth partially open. it sorta scared me so i took him out and he had a couple, maybe 3,water droplets on him since he WAS in there for quite some time and water around his mouth... he opened his mouth up really wide and closed it then blew a couple bubbles out of his nose/pits.. this bubble blowing happeneed a couple times, is this normal after they drink water?
