Male Breeding

I see alot post about males breeding at one year or producing sperm plugs How does one find out if a male is producing plugs?

When I pop mine usually some plugs will pop out as well.

How often can you pop them? i have only pop'ed him when he was a baby but not anymore.

You can pop them whenever its just easyer with babies. And you need to be alittle more careful with the adults

What do you need to be careful about? What kind of bad things can happen?

i know if you are to rough it can break there spine

One of my males left a lil surprise in his water bowl, thats how i new he was wanting to flex his muscle lol:O

I imagine that it would be the other way around. It would be harder to hurt an adult than a baby.

Its a little harder to pop adults not more dangerous. Even though it may be harder to get the hemipenes out the plugs should show up fairly easy, unless he's been breeding, then there may not be much there.

I think someone too rough might damage the hemipenes, too--just best to know what you're doing.

Like I said, I'm pretty rough when it comes to popping ... and all the penes here work just fine! :sweeet: :D

I've taught dozens of people how to pop, and I've never seen a damaged snake as a result ... now probing, that's a different story ... just sharing my experience.

Hope this helps.
