    So, I can pop my snake but I'm still not 100% sure on the sex
    After watching a lot of popping videos (the Ralph Davis one in particular was the best I found) I decided to give it a shot. I know people say you need to be a pro to do this, but I figured it out on my own by watching others. It's really not as hard as I expected and doesnt seem to bother or hurt the snake.

    Anyways, what comes out of mine almost looks like hemipenes, but they dont have the redness I've seen in other males. However, two little things do pop out that look sorta like alien attennas or something. They are the same color as the rest of what comes out, pinkish white.

    Does this sound like a female's scent gland?

    Also, where can I find some really, really high rez photos of what it looks like to pop a female ball?

    I did it again, this time just slightly harder and the things poking out and now coming out further and are blood red. Pretty sure I found me some hemipenes afterall.
