I believe you have a male . judging by the false - legs (more pronounced on males . Other wise I would need a pair of tweezers and your snake- you GENTLY roll out the genatalia there should be videos on u tube how to do this thats how I sexed mine ( which I don't have any more ) .
Anyway there you go.

You can only "pop" small snakes and it can be dangerous for the snake to try for the first time without experienced supervision. You might try and see if you can get it sexed at the local reptile specialty store or try and find a snake breeder locally who can probe it for you. If you can't find anyone then you might want to teach yourself, just use proper caution.

As an aside, looking under the skirt so to speak isn't foolproof. Unless you can guarantee there are no hemipenes it is hit or miss sexing snakes.

Unfortunately you can not accurately tell the sex of a ball python by the way you are asking us to. Sorry :(
