You wait until they are in the egg to pop them? I thought it was common practice to pop them while ultrasounding the gravid mom!

On a more serious note... I've not bred yet so I've never done it, but I've seen plenty of people talking about popping as soon as they have hatched. Plus it can be done on much smaller species of snakes such as baby corns. So I don't think there is a "too young". On the other hand, I've heard it can get hard to do when they get older and stronger.
