Greebo
Snakologist
I picked up a 6ft Murray-Darling on Monday. The guy I bought it from bought it as a female and later had it probed and was told it was a male.
I got an email from him yesterday explaining that he had just found out that female Murrays can probe to 8 scales which is what this snake probed.
I probed the snake myself but I am not very confident and was extremely cautious. I also probed to 8 scales but I am not positive in my accuracy.
I will be tking him to a very experienced vet early next week to get a positive sexing.
This snake is very chunky....thinking perhaps gravid and it is also a bit hissy in its enclosure...another sign perhaps.
All will be cleared up next week...one way or the other.
