pushing sexing probe to far???

[rabernet]

look, im not gonna battle with you no more, i said i was sorry and if your not goning to move on then maybe you should not read MY thread you are responding to, which in the end you are responding to me, its my thread.

As an owner and admin of this site - I have to read the threads. Threads do not belong to any single person - they belong to the site.

I was NOT responding to you in my first reply, I was responding to another poster. Just because you started the thread, does not mean that every response is directed to you.

I was not "battling" with you. You would know if I was "battling" with you - TRUST me on that!

yes i understand you have to read the threads but you dont have to respond... please quit messing with me and let me post in peace, i said i was sorry so move on.

People have it about right. The snake genitalia are very delicate, and if you don't take proper caution you can definently puncture the organ.
Thanks for the tip to check both sides Robin!

If you know what your doing you can pop them right after they hatch.

Yea I want to try popping them but in all honesty I have never done it before and I dont want to hurt them...

Kiddo - I never was messing with you - in fact, I wasn't even responding to YOU on my initial reply.

Let.....it......go......

It's not all about you, sometimes replies have nothing to do with you!

interesting convo here lol, but Rabernet, is there any way you could give me some advice on how to learn how to "pop" a snake?

It's very hard to teach someone how to pop, if you're not there in person to show them how. However, the two best videos for popping, IMHO are these - Ralph's video may be a little bit clearer, but Adam's shows you exactly what you're looking for between males and females:

YouTube - 8 Ball Pythons - Popping Lessons

YouTube - PRO Poppin.........yeah booyeeeeeee

Those are great videos Robin! And checking both sides is always a good idea when probing. When my friend first taught me how to probe, he taught me to always check both sides. And after he taught me, he brought out some yearlings of both sexes (he knew, I didn't) as a "test" so he could guide me, and then make sure I was doing it right. He was a very good and pateient keeper. Practically my mentor....only he dealt mostly with hots. Seems everytime I pop though, pee and/or poo comes out. From those videos, Adam had none.....
