I poped my first snake!!

OKReptileRescue Jul 24, 2008 01:44 AM

I've been learning how to pop-- been watching videos constantly- finally went to a friend's house- that I know through the herp club-- he showed me a few times in person how to pop his boas.
I had tried a few times before but hadn't ever gotten... anything to come out... I wasn't pressing hard enough. (D'uh)

I got several babies to pop- one after another after another- he had me guess the sexes- I got them all right the first time around. I was very happy.

Came home, washed my hands up- and pulled out a "female" ball I got that has rediculously huge spurrs- I'd been doubting "her" -- it is a her.

anyway- just thought I'd share the news. I'm very happy-- I've been probing for quite some time- but this is soooo much easier!!!

Congrats! When I first learned to popp, I too couldnt get the penes to show... I too was just not pressing hard enough...

Great feeling when you do do it right though!!!

My friend had me practice on his finger- lol. I'd compare it to trying to get a subborn pimple- (yuck)
