I've got a 'female' ball python which I've been getting ready for breeding and thought Id take my hand at trying to sex her for confirmation (since i bought her as female from a private breeder) after trying to pop her I noticed a waxy build up coming from the glands... but no sign of a hemipenis! Research on the net suggests that these are 'sperm plugs' found in males only!!!! Just wondered what your opinions are? Has anyone found these in females?
