Not what I was looking for, but ok
Well I'm trying to get this popping thing down, but can't seem to get it. The only thing I'm getting out of my boys is sperm plugs! I'd never actually seen one up close and personal till yesterday. I was trying to pop my spider and out came this nasty gunk. Well I went ahead and tried to pop (can't seem to make the hemipenes pop out) my other two males and sure enough, they both had sperm plugs.

Re: Not what I was looking for, but ok
Yea, thats always a plus. But now I want to go through and try it on my girls to make sure they are girls. I like to probe adults but I lost my probe set when we moved. I need to get another set.
Its like the very beginning of the penes would start to pop but I just couldn't get them out. I didn't want to hurt them so I didn't press too hard. My pastel was none to pleased about me being round his privates.

How big are they? I don't ever probe. You are likely to do much more damage probing improperly than popping improperly.

They are almost 500g. I have probed a few of my snakes before. I have been shown how to do it both online and in person.

Popping a 500 gram snake is super simple.

Ok, so you put your right thumb near the vent and you press up with which thumb? Your left or right? (Well I'm right handed and hold the body of the snake in my right and and the tail in my left)

I am left handed. I hold the snake in my right hand. I turn it over. I put my right thumb up against the top of the cloaca and using my other thumb I start in the middle of the area between the cloaca and the tip of the tail and roll my thumb up towards the cloaca. If you are right handed and feel more comfortable you can hold the snake in your left hand and do it the opposite way. The penes retract down into the end of the tail. By starting a little further down and rolling up towards the cloaca you can get them to evert the penes (if they are males). Otherwise it will just be a light pink with no penes.

Thanks. I will try it again later. Well all I need to do is get some more weight on these boys and throw them in with some girls (when the girls are ready of course).
