    Personally I've never been good at popping snakes, but I'm sure if you get someone experienced to show you ho then you'll be able to pick it up.

    As for what it is that you see, if you pop a male then the hemipenes (the male's two penises) will pop out. If nothing pops out, or two very small nubs, then it's a female.

    I am a huge supporter of probing. You should look into it, I find it much easier than trying to pop a snake. Just my opinion

    I'm self taught popper. It is easy to do it once you know your own personal technique. I tried the push method(moving thumb toward the cloaca) and could not get anything. Used Ralph Davis method of rolling your thumb(like a tube of toothpaste) and it works amazing! Easiest way is to take a male that you know is a male, and try, it helps you gauge how much pressure you need. Once you do it a few times you will be a pro.
    I also learned how to probe snakes long before I ever popped one.
    Watch RD videos and it will help a lot.
