popping them but this is risky.

Popping is a great way to sex your Regius if you know how. Its hard to explain on here, just ask any experianced breeder at you next show.

only guarantees a male. It is not 100% accurate and ALL snakes that pop as a female should be probed. I've gotten females from some of the top breeders in the world that turned into males as they matured. Double check your females!

No. Actually I work with chondros, balls, and lots of Brooks kings. As I stated before, I've bred MANY types of snakes over the years, and lots of rare stuff at that......at least for the time. Here's a list of animals I've successfully bred:

PYTHONS....

Burmese
Indians
Sri Lankans
Malaysian bloods
Borneo bloods
Macklots
Coastal carpets
Jungle carpets
Spotted
Childrens
Ringed
Green Trees

BOAS....

Argentine
Kenyan Sand

COLUBRIDS....

ALL sub-species of common kingsnake (getula)
Graybands
Thayeri
Mex Mex
Corns
Grey Rats
TX. Rats
Black Rats
Several Asian Rats
Royal Diadems
Pueblan milks
Sinaloan milks
Jalisco milks
Stuarts milks
Red milks
Honduran milks
........and lots of other things I can't remember. I keep a somewhat small collection of about 50 animals now, and specialize in Chondros and Brooks kings, but also produce a handful of hondurans and hopefully a few Balls.......it's been 10 years. lol. I just keep the snakes that I have a true passion for now. I hope I don't look like an ass posting this, as I'm not trying to brag....it's just something I'm proud of.

Peace
