Last year (was it JUST last year?) I went to a show here in Arizona and saw Kathy's table. Having heard about her for quite a while, I was anxious to meet her, and maybe, just maybe, get a little "love corn" too. I remember waiting patiently while the gentleman who was at the table spoke with Kathy. I listened in shamelessly too... and when she went to show him how to pop a hatchling, well I just had to step closer and pay close attention. The explanation was SO SIMPLE!, I still remembered everything about the mini lesson a month later when I got my own hatchlings. Now I feel VERY confident about the males I pop, and mostly confident about the females. The only time I've seen a snake probed ended up in blood! (on the human's arm, hand, LEG...) as a friend probed a couple of my adult kings to ascertain their gender.
