>>I forgot to touch on it. It is by far the best way to sex larger bloods either with or without an assistant. This is because of the number one rule when working with bloods. You should never, for any reason, ever hold a blood python behind the head. They hate this more than anything else and can easily dislocate vertebrae in their struggles to break free. Even the tamest of all bloods will not tolerate being restrained behind the head. It should never be done for any reason. Take Harlin's advice and use the bag system.

That is something very odd with them. I see this issue with my carpets a little, but they are arboreal. Almost every other heavy bodied snake I have dealt with has been wonderful with restraint.

I still remember the time I needed a tracheal flush on my borneo. I believe the exact words from her were,
"I Had no clue a snake that small could hold that much poop"

Then I happened to notice, she had already changed.
