    Little more info, such as age of snake, would be helpful. How many times did you try popping? Have you successfully popped other snakes of similar age? At first glance I'd say female.

    He is coming up on 5 months old and pushing 450g I have successfully popped my male pastel who is just slightly older but this was back when he was roughly this age and when he was a hatchling I attempted to pop him about 3 Times getting this result every time

    Also does anyone see anything wrong with what I'm doing? I know a picture is kinda hard to say but mainly I'm curious to see if anyone notices anything seriously wrong I should be aware of

    Finger position looks okay. Without a video recording it would be difficult to tell if you are doing it properly, but based on your previous successes I'd say you are fine. Sticking with female. From what I see of her pattern she is pretty!

    Well considering she was sold to me as a male for about 60$ either I got extremely lucky or I'm doing something wrong

    I would say you need to find someone to show you.
    I double pop all of my sales in front of my customers before they take delivery so there is no question.
    None of your positioning looks correct to me and that leave a lot open to doubt.
    Do not probe your snakes unless you can get someone that knows what they are doing, you can severely damage an animal by pushing too hard.
