Gah! Frustration!

Apparently, I am pop impaired.
I have 3 males that I *know* are males. But can I get one single hemipene to pop out? No no, I am a complete failure! Becky can do it in like 2 seconds flat, not me! I have been taught by the best, and yet I still can't do it. What's wrong with me??? Ok, don't answer that, for real.

Don't try too hard. That can seriously harm your snake.

Just go to whoever taught you and let them watch you do it. Be sure to roll your thumb towards the cloaca and don't just jam it down and push

Also, how big is the snake you are trying to pop? I have never had a problem popping a hatchling or some sub-adults but if it is an adult it is a lost cause for me.
