I bought my ball python as a male a year ago. And now that we are looking to buy a mate, its time to double check. I cant get him to pop! I dont know if its that im struggling or if he is in fact a girl. Ive looked up the how tos everywhere and when i do it, i see two little dark brown specks where the peins should be. Is this a sign that it is a male and i cant get him to pop? Is there someone in the area willing to stop by and show me what im doing wrong?
 
I would recommend probing, pooping is only really good for newborns. And if you try to force popping too much you can really hurt your snake
 
:iagree: Popping is fine with smaller snakes, but I have seen it happen several times where someone tries to force an older snake and ends up damaging there spine. Learn to probe, then there can be no doubt.
 
You could take him to the vet or if you know anyone in your area that works with BPs, or possibly a reptile store or herp society, they may be able to assist you in sexing the snake.

Good luck!
