Hello!

I'm a new BP owner and I'm wanting to eventually get into breeding, once I've learned enough about it to do it responsibly. As to this I have several questions.

a) Without the probing method, what is the best and safest way to sex a snake? I've heard about popping but I'm really nervous that I might do her damage.

b) what is breeding weight for male and female respectively? Or is there a certain age that they have to be before they can breed?

c) I'm thinking about getting a mojave to breed my pinstripe too. What combinations would this create? And can children be bred back to parents?
