I've been wondering about this one for a while. I know it has been said that you can hurt a snake while popping it. What kind of injuries can occur, how do they affect the snake and do they influence future breeding? How do these injuries happen? Also, how do you tell if you accidentally hurt it? Can you? The breeder I got Onyx from showed me how to pop a snake and I've read up on it, but I haven't done it. I'm just curious about this stuff because I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I saw someone post that they had seen a lot of snakes hurt this way, but I have no idea how one would know.
