Recent evidence of trying to probe Yukon for practice, and failing. I probably couldn't find the cloaca or just not probing in the right direction. I think I'll have to have someone show me how to probe an adult ball python in person!
I did practice probing on my two young ones though, and it went in smoothly...

You're brave! I just recently attempted popping them, I only tried my one snake though and did it fairly successfully. I have no idea how it works with probing, though. Not sure which method could cause the most damage, but I think I'd be scared of stabbing them with a probe, haha.

Eek, I might try popping my little ones too and see how it goes... It's apparently more difficult to pop an adult too.
I was brave but probably TOO brave, I'm afraid I might have hurt him a bit. I got confident after the probe went in the young ones so easily. The darn probe just wouldn't go in anywhere, like there was no entrance!

Atticus, my normal male ball python. He just turned two at the end of July, and he's somewhere between 14-1500 grams.

There's tons of YouTube videos, the popping process seems super simple! And I think you'd only hurt your snake if you put a ton on unnecessary pressure, which who would because I wouldn't want to chance hurting one of my babies.

Yikes! Be careful popping and/or probing! my understanding is that trying to pop an adult can be harmful, though i dont know for sure. But what i do know is that no matter how common it is (either method) its still a veterinary procedure. if you want to learn how to sponge-paint your powder room, youtube is a great teacher, but for this i'd seek professional guidance.
just my
however i have strayed form the theme of this thread, so please enjoy this most recent pic wherein i look like a hot mess, but Irwin's looking sharp as always.

I heard that the adults fight more as well... yeah, I haven't tried it on any of my other snakes since then, but I've heard if it's not done properly it can harm them too...
Haha, I hate it when my snakes steals the show in my selfies. beauty boa!
