When I first started popping, I started with known males and females and just practiced, practiced, practiced. Adam talked me through popping on the phone and assured me I wouldn't break Kashmire.

Kevin showed me in person last year when I went to visit him and Kara. He'd pop a snake, then hand it to me and let me pop. None of them pee'd on him, all of them did on me! LOL

Adam and Ralph's popping videos also helped me to "finesse" my touch. I can't remember the last time that I've probed a snake, now it's all popping.

Interestingly enough, I find adults far easier to pop than babies (including the males).

You really do just need to keep practicing on your own collection of known sexes. As they say - practice makes perfect!
