Or just wait and see if it lays eggs

This is known as the Magpie sexing method.
Good luck with the jewels popp.
I have decided that breeding pythons is 10% getting condition right, 10% timing and 80% waiting.... You wait for cooling to end, then you wait for mating, then you wait for pre lay shed, then you wait for egg deposition, then finally you get to wait over two months for hatching. Best of all, at any stage of this fun fun cycle, you have no idea if everything up to that point has been successful.
