Not what I was looking for, but ok

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).

True..But with aspiration to breed animals, it is key to learn how to sex properly. Knowing how to pop snakes is pretty important. I pop them as soon as they are out of the egg, after they shed and before I ship out. If I had to probe instead I would probably kill myself.

To each their own.
I'm a master at probing- my herp vet taught me & I'd help with her snakes & mine. Popping is something that has taken me longer to master although anything under 500g does seem pretty simple. I'd never probe a hatchling, after 100g or so, it's not tough at all if you know what you are doing.

Ok, I tried and still nothing. I'm going to have someone show me in person next week so hopefully I can get the hang of it.

It does take practice & over time the press n' roll will become easier.

Well don't be too sad. I remember when I first tried popping.. I tried it on my female a few times just to see if she was sure to be a male then when I tried to pop her instead of penes coming out, I was peed on. It just shot out and I didn't even expect it. Kind of nasty too, it hit my neck and some of my hair. I took a nice shower that night though lol

I was also peed on by my Corn snake when I tried to pop him.. and from my Kingsnake I used to have. Snakes seem to like to pee on me for some reason..

For sure..To each their own..I learned from a Jedi master so I can pop any size snake. So there!

Even a Burm? lol

Haha..I'm a wuss. I don't mess with anything bigger than a Boa.

[tbowman]

it doesn't seem possible to pop a burm to me, if it's not a hatchling. It just seems kinda dangerous to the snake to me?

I would want to learn how to pop/probe a snake eventually in my life. I just only have an 8 and a half foot burm and a 4' Bp. Kinda need a smaller snake to work with =).

Yeah it' harder to pop Retics too, but it can be done. I find they do better at probing.
