Thanks |

Posted - 26/04/2011 : 13:42:46 We do have a shop close to us but its not very good. The shop we bought from is very reputable so I'm hoping they will have a look if I can get back up there.
I was hoping to get more of these in the future to breed, but suppose I can always get a proven pair.
Oh, and we called her Miss Piggy lol |

Posted - 26/04/2011 : 13:39:09 I see what you mean - I'd say that was a male, but without a confirmed male or female next to it for comparison purposes, it's hard to be 100% sure. Do you have a reptile shop or vet near you who could probe your snake for you? I suppose it only really matters if you wanted to breed from him/her - or if you've given her a really girly name! But it's always nice to know these things for sure. |
