yeah i watched that video about ten times before i felt even close to comfy to pop em, but after i got over being nervous, i just did it gently, and it was pretty telltale, but i think that i might have to do it again later on down the road, im not sure. lets just say that it was easy after i calmed down, but im still not 100% positive that my snakes are the sex i think they are. its just what you're comfy with yourself i guess!
