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?
