Male or female burm? + can anyone near howell nj probe a snake for me?

What do you guys think he/she is? I can't tell and everyone's telling me something different lol. He/she is about 4yrs old and a little over 9ft. Sorry for the bad pics, she doesn't hold still. Also is there anyone near Howell, NJ that can probe him or know someone who will. I'm trying to avoid taking her to the vet to get sexed, they want to charge me a lot for it. I was told it was female by the guy i got her from but i don't think he knew either.

I don't go by spurs. I have two males that have darned near no spurs. That burm for being 4 and about 9 feet makes me think male. Probably from going off feed during breeding season. Unless she was grossly underfed. Honestly it shouldn't cost more than $20 to get a snake probed. I have a very good vet my way Dr. Stahl. That's his charge. I would get him/her probed to be certain. Unless you see sperm plugs during breeding season. Then you know.

Yea i don't go by her length, she was underfed before i got her. Guy went into the navy and left her to his mom who didn't know anything about her, she was fed mice once in awhile then a rat that bit her pretty bad, that's how i got her, she didn't want to pay the vet bills and he didn't want to feed her anymore. She's growing like weed now though, over three feet since i got her. He/she's also never turned down food in her life.

Hmmm well its like this both methods I am going to tell you are both somewhat unreliable but, Spur size would suggest female. However the tail length from the vent would be a sign of a male. I had a 17 foot female albino Burmese that had a long tail. I would recommend setting up a probing date. But Just to GUESS I would go with male, I end up getting allot of males with small spurs. More into the Reticulated pythons then the Burmese though. I would go to the vet, Usually 3-4 scales are female 6+ are males, however he will probably just x ray, Probing the hemi penis is quite dangerous unless its done delicately.

Good luck Travis!
