If its a sub adult, or juvenile, you can have him/her probed by a vet to find out, alternatively, have a look at its tail. A female ball python has a short thick tail whereas the male has a longer slenderer tail, which he uses to grasp the female with in the mating embrace.
Also have a look at the thick round scales underneath the cloaca, or vent, if there are several running along the line from the vent, and disperse into the skin scales, you have a boy, if there are only three or four, then you have a little girl.
Finally females tend to be thicker set than males.
found this statement on line and wandered ho true it may be?

Never heard of the rough scale part but the rest seems true enough but obviously it's never quite that simple. |
