Jk, thanks

My oldest adult is either gay or really dumb cuz he keeps trying to mate with my other male....

Never mentioned it but I moved out 2 of the no-longer-called-babies babies out of their cage and into my solitary male as they are now big enough. They're all loving it, its cool seeing him interact with other snakes instead of just looking bore all day.

It's now Spooner, Smoke, and Red in one cage, Rooster and Oscar in the other.

Also planning on setting up another tank, all females , for future breeding.

Are you 100% sure the other male is indeed a male??

I'm 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% sure..... The thought occurred to me, but it's just not possible.

Hell, if he isn't, I guess I'll move him to another cage, or i'll have some babies to sell, they are both red sided however so there's no real concern a this point.

But seriously, he can't be female.

Awesome pics! I guess you can find out for sure if it is a male in a few months

You really are going to have to quit letting him watch glee.

Well yeah, but sometimes the confirmation is worth trying. I agree it's not reliable as an actual sexing, but it's not completely pointless.

Well yeah, but sometimes the confirmation is worth trying.

Why? to confirm what I already knew? And what of those that I suspect are female? Should I try to pop them? What if nothing comes out? Does it mean they are female for sure? NO. So, pointless. What if I'm sure it's a male and I still don't get anything coming out? Should I then conclude it's a female? NO. So, pointless.

Look, this is how Amy (a boy) ended up with a girls name. Breeder "popped" nothing came out so marked as female. I take one look at the snake and it looked male to me, but I just went with what the breeder told me. Low and behold, my suspicion was right. He is a male. I didn't need popping to tell me that. In his case, sexing visually by me, was accurate. Because he didn't pop, the breeder thought he was a girl.

In other words, popping at best, isn't any better than just an experienced eye, sexing visually. You're still going to have mistakes.
