    Question Popping Question?

    I have my normal Djinn, who I thought was a male, well I tried to pop Djinn, now i'm thinking he is a she.. I watched the 8Ball video on "popping" and I have seen it done may a times.. My question is do you use a good amount of pressure with the thumbs to pop? I dont wanna hurt Djinn.. He ( or so I was told ) started it all for my he's the first BP I ever got.. Thank you in advance.

    Cheers

    How big is he? Sometimes the larger snakes can hold in the private parts and make it hard to verify

    Both placement of your fingers and pressure are important, younger snake require less pressure whereas older bigger snake require more pressure.

    The key is practice practice practice, and if you have someone local to you that can show you it's even better.

    It can be tricky to pop a male! Sometimes a little more pressure needs to be aplied!

    When they are that big it does take some more pressure.

    Wow, that's would be a very big boy. I would venture a guess that he is a she being that size.
