[starmom]

Sry its seems im accusatory and it does to me also and for that im sorry.

Very cool. We all blow it sometimes.

Damnit Jas, look what you started. Now vets are loaded with injured snakes because of people incorrectly popping them after watching a youtube video. *POP*

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Totally cracks me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wont tell me

I could be wrong as Ive only popped a couple times but doent the prolapse come from the opposite side? As in if you were popping for sex you would be pushing on the tail end and im guessing a prolapse would come from the other side where the intestines are? ... in the end making a prolapse not possible from popping?

dONT YOU PUSH FROM BOTH ENDS?

[JoshJP7]

you do push on the body(before the cloaca) but you do more pushing/rolling on the other end(tail)

Ouch neg repped, guess some people just don't like Pulp fiction.(wasn't the op)

I think it was just the harshness of the original comment including the word @ss.

I agree, I took it kinda personal, seeing how my little BCI just prolapsed a few months ago. And I have never tried to pop her! You should think before you post here big guy!

I don't know if the OP meant you since yours is a RTB instead of a BP. But I hadn't seen any other threads on prolapses recently. But then again, I've been down in the lower threads mostly, Morelia and General Boas.

Link, where are those threads you referred to?

He wont tell me

But... you said... he did...

No just talking with my vet. And the herp vet(who my wife works for at the zoo) at my local zoo who says he gets calls all the time about popping snakes. And he tells me about the horror stories all the time.

But... you said... he did...

He tells me stories about what he sees and hears from people in general. Nothing specific about popping sort of speak.

So, you just assume that popping causes injuries, which prompted this thread?
