LOL ... There was a day when I only had a small collection and used to pop them all constantly for practice ... they lived through it just fine.

The one thing that I know for sure is that there are no short cuts ... no matter what method you choose to sex your snakes (popping, probing, counting blood vessel, or whatever), unless you practice constantly, there is going to be a period of learning where you are not going to be 100% accurate. Practice, practice, practice!!
