If you've never at least seen it done in person before i don't recommend you trying on your own. You don't want to risk hurting your snake. I had a friend show me who is a breeder and does it all the time, after that and then watching every video out there on it i tried it myself. Took me a little while to get the hang of it but now i can do it pretty quickly and accurately. Try to find someone in your area that can show you, it's the best way to learn without hurting your snake in the process.
