Popping my snake

[theartofsolitude]

Hello folks.. i just did pop my snake and what's weird is.. i saw there's only ONE of those red rods (is he male then?) coming out of its cloaca and plus some white stuff came out, some fluid which squirt on my face and went straight to my eyes and a bad smell.

I did it twice, the second one was worse, coz i didnt even see any red rod, just some mountain like kinda white thing (looks like an internal organ).

maybe i'll pop him/her again some other time, im pretty sure i pissed him/her coz he looks like it. lol.


did i do anything wrong? i'm suppose to see 2 red rods for a male snake right?

wouldnt reccomend a noob popping a snake, i can tell you havnt had him(?) that long because the white thing is a eurate and the liquid is urine. most likely its a male but just be carefull

yeah, well.. i was just watching videos in you tube.. i dont know how to call that 'eurate' thing now i know. thanks for the reply though

Yeah, it's a male and ew you got snake bodily fluids in your eye, lol.

As they said, no one recommends popping snakes unless you've had someone personally teach you.

You can really hurt a snake if you don't know what you are doing.

i guess its best that i'll just bring him/her to a vet or something.. coz i dont really trust pet shops sometimes they are not that knowledgeable i guess..

Expos are pretty handy. You can find a breeder friendly enough to pop or probe them for free. Someone might even teach you.

I tried to pop my snake today. And I also had white stuff come out. I was really gentile. Though I saw one rod but not for sure ( I was freaked out about the white stuff). But here is my real question. how much force does it take to damage the snake?? Also people say not to do it if your not experienced with it. But experienced people had a first time also.
