are the spurs any use to the python or are they just left over from 100's of years of evolutionary change from lizards
Pythons also use their spurs to "tickle" the female to show her he is in the mood and to get her in position. |

makes no difference if they have been bred or not, males tend to have larger spurs but this is not an accurate way of sexing as some females have large spurs |

so, if you can see them they have been bred? We got Boris in June and he is 3. I am going to go back to the shop and see if I can find out a bit more about him. |

sometimes they lose a spur and they can grow back but takes a long time as they are built up from layers of retained shed if i remember right |

Boris only has one visible. |
