Yuk, on your keyboard? Be glad you aren't into cats!!!!Originally Posted by BHReptiles
I feel like with my lack of experience, I'm hurting my babies trying to pop them. I'm pretty good at probing and as long as the baby is sitting relatively still, it's pretty easy to do without injuring them. The only trouble I've run into when probing a ball python is that my male LOVES to poop on me the moment the probe goes in. I had to replace my keyboard because of that. Now, I do all my probing over a towel.
I've been pooped on by all kinds of snakes; kingsnakes, milksnakes, hognose, other pythons, (notably retics and bloods, occasionally a burmese), but never has one of my BP's unloaded on me, (but I haven't stuck a rod up one's butt lately, so maybe that's the trick?). I'll remember the paper towel when I do. BTW, I like the probes you linked me to, so I put them on my Ebay watch list. I like that the sizes are color coded, so even though there are a few lesser expensive sets out there, I think I'll probably end up with those; thanks!
