interesting story

I was just wondering if any of you have heard of anything like this befor. I was holding my Jungle Carpet last night. I believe she is a female but have never had it probed, I'm not looking to breed her anytime soon. She's about 10 months old so still a little girl and is about 30+ inches. Anyways I was holding her studying last night (exams coming up) and I felt somthing tickling my hand. When I looked down I saw she was tickling me with her anal spurs. It was just like when my male kenyans was courting my female exept the she didn't rub her vent on my hand, she just tickled. I was really surprised at this and was wondering if it is really weird or if anyone else has ever had this happend to them. Especially since she is probably a girl and not even close to breeding age or size. Anyways let me know what you think.

most likely it is a male if its using its spurs like that. females have them, but there really tiny and you probably would not feel them. that and i think your snake was taking a special liking to your arm, kinda like a dog humping your leg.

Possibly, but it does have some pretty short spurs and not so long a tail but ya I kinda agree with you on the special liking so you never know. I'll let you know for sure if it is a male or female when I finally get it probed, maybe I'll take it back to the breeder I got it from at the next reptile show, he said he'd sex it for me but I wasn't in a big rush because I'm not planning on breeding it but now I'm just plain curious. Thanks for the input though.
