    Sexing Hatchling

    Recently I hatched out my first clutch of Ball Pythons. A Pastel to normal with 2 normals and 2 pastels hatching out. They have all shed and so far all have eaten 2 fuzzy mice each. I'm looking to get ready to put the pastels on the market but I'm not sure how to sex the hatchlings. I've tried to pop them but I've only watched the videos on youtube and I can't seem to get them to pop. I'm so afraid of hurting them I really don't want to keep trying><

    How do you guys sex your hatchlings?

    I pop them and I'm learning to probe now.
    It takes practice to get popping down, or it has for me anyways, it's def more of where you push than how hard you push.

    Good luck
