How do you seperate locked snakes?

[BPelizabeth]

For some odd reason i just got a sharp pain in my midsection! Leave your "breeding" snakes be. stick around here, you'll learn quite a bit about these fascinating creatures.......

I was thinking the same thing....even though I have no idea...never bred my snakes yet.

But imagine this...jolly green giant yanking you when you are in the "lovin" mode.

I left them alone. And quarintine is not necessary since all the snakes originated from my house and recieve the best care.

You never purchased snakes from anyone else?

The person that owns the snakes that came from your home didn't buy any snakes elsewhere? He didn't go to ANY reptile shows in his lifetime?

All it takes is for him to go to a show, pick up a nice boa, leave the show empty handed, and not wash his hands when he goes to handle his animals.

Also male hemipenes have little spines on them that could severely injure the internal females organs and the male himself if they were forced apart or startled.

Wtf! pull them apart & rip his penes off,come on really! leave them alone!

The only snake i bought in the last 3 years was a Male lesser. And the only snakes my friend has are from me. We are partners in a small business and swap snakes back and forth all the time. Why is everyone coming down on me because i asked a simple question about separating snakes? I understand its not possible now.

Just because its something none of us would EVER, EVER, EVER consider doing. I would never want to pull any animals out of a lock cause you WILL mess stuff up. I'm really suprised you thought about pulling them apart...

Because the fact you are breeding these animals with such obvious holes in your knowledge of their care and husbandry may worry/upset a few people who care anything at all for the welfare of animals.

And then all this nonsense in YOUR sig. would suggest you are full of something.

Not posting numbers. Changes too much.
Redtailed boas (Breeding)
Rhacodactylus Leachianus (Breeding)
Ball pythons (Breeding when they grow up)
mississippi Map turtle (Pet)
Russian Tortoise (Pet)
Bearded Dragons (Breeding)
African Soft Furred Rats (Breeding)

HELP ME! I cant stop buying Ball Pythons.

All i did was ask a simple question on a subject i didn't know. I just wanted ti know if there was a trick to seperating them. And there isn't any. I have been breeding reptiles for over 30 years so dont start flaming me. To me its just a hobby. But a hobby that pays for itself. There was no reason to flip out on me and threaten me with never buying my reptiles agin. Sorry if i offended anyone one with a simple question. hasus decristo.
Maybe this place isn't for me then.
Good bye.

Does this mean we have to qt ourselves from our animals after every reptile show and all visitors that may have possibly been around other herps in their lives? Seems a bit ridiculous to me. I personally would never loan my animals to anyone though. I get your point, but it seems a little out of context.

Also...I think the OP gets it now. It was a simple question with a simple answer. Sure...we may have seen it as a dumb question, but now he knows. Asking and reading is how we learn things. At least he asked before injuring the animals. Give him SOME credit for that much.
