Pics of "popped" baby balls??

Kegman Aug 17, 2004 04:49 PM

Can someone please post some upclose photos of baby balls that are "popped"? I know the technique and am getting results but I am not sure what I am looking for. I know about the website that does have photos but these photos are from an adult, not a newly hatched ball. I would greatly appreciate any help. I have 7 babies that I hatched out 2 months ago and I don't know what I have(

you should buy dr sewards determining sex in snakes video before trying it yourself, or like the others said go to a breeder or vet.

Seen it done before and did it with a very experienced breeder but it was a few years ago. Like I said, I know the technique and how NOT to harm the ball, BUT I forgot what to look for exactly. I am not getting any hemipenes to protrude. Perhaps I have all females, but those odds would be too good to be true. And I do plan on buying the video in the near future.
