    Question age/size requirement before popping

    I've watched the vids on youtube and read about it on here.

    is there an age/weight/size requirement that should be passed before attempting?

    younger is usually better than older for popping. In fact, most people consider the age/size requirement to be a size CUTOFF for popping.

    Younger is easier for me. I popped my 1900g snake the other day and had a heck of a time!!

    Re: age/size requirement before popping

    You can do it at any age...the question is CAN you do it! Bigger snakes can put up a good fight! I think males can fully avoid being poped if they do not want to be?

    Within a week of hatching if possible.....right out of the egg is really good, as you move them into their new condos.

    Right out of the egg is fine. In general, the younger they are the easier it is to pop them. If you haven't done it before you might want to have someone show you/talk you through it in person first.

    Re: age/size requirement before popping

    I pop right out of the egg and after first shed. It is best to do it a few times as they begin to grow just to make sure.
