    I pop too and double check before shipping, sometimes even have a freind pop'em too just to be double sure. Before I knew how to pop I received a wrongly sexed or not sexed animal and wouldn't want that to happen to someone else. I don't like to probe hatchlings, in my opinion they are too delicate and poping is so easy for babies. But that is just me. :)

    Do you have an address for that site! I'm sure lots of folks would like too see for themselves.

    The pops have it! I pop as well, both when I set 'em up, and before I ship 'em out. The only time I ever probe BPs is with very stubborn adults when I'm just not sure after many popping attempts.

    I pop all the babies as well for the same reasons as Tim does. I have found that with time and a reliable method that I am also able to pop baby Children's and spotted pythons at birth.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. That's what I thought you'd all be doing, since the babies are so small, but just filing it away in the memory banks for next season. Daphne's almost ready, and since I have 3 adult normal males and one het albino male large enough, we're just waiting for Daphne to grow up. :D
