I'm gonna have to get my other one probed/popped again also to make sure, cause the guy told me she was a he, so I'll have to beg Lucas over to probe them, I'll bake him and his wife a nice rum cake for his help :)

SIBs..
I had those..
They are great if you can get them to eat.
I had over 20 and only 3 ate and only 1 ate pinkies(day olds). The other 2 ate frogs.

Make sure those that you get are eating pinks before you get them.

Lisa as our BP's get bigger they build up such strong muscles. It can be very hard to pop a subadult/adult BP but that there hun is a males shed casing. Do you happen to have a Herp Vet in your neck of the woods. That may be your ticket in the future.

I just tried to pop one of my snakes, I only tried three times as I don't exactly know what I'm doing yet. I watched the videos, but how hard do you have to press(roll)? I was able to pull the vent scale a bit and opened up that area, but when I tried to roll out it's stuff.. well, nothing. I put it back because it started to look irritated.

thanks for the posts frankykeno. I just popped my girl to double check, so far so girly. I might get her probed sometime in the future but im pretty sure she is a girl, she's 4 so shes sexualy mature.

It's still possible that that is NOT a sperm plug. The reason I say that is that I had a similiar issue during my first breeding attempt. I found this in my 'female's' tub.

I had just had her at the local herp vet, who was also head of the local herp society. He had told me she was female. I was NOT happy since 'she' was going to be my first attempt at breeding, and I had what looks VERY much like a sperm plug. I could not get her to pop male, and did end up trying to breed 'her'. Several months later she definitely proved female by laying a lovely clutch of 5 eggs. So it's possible...... :rolleyes:

thats a plug allright!

When in doubt probe :gj:
