Popping Question

Vernooyboy Aug 25, 2004 07:02 PM

I have some hatchling milks and I was wondering how long I should wait until I try popping them to determine their sex. I have popped snakes before but this is my first clutch and I want to be sure.

Thanx
Scott

The younger they are, the easier they are to pop. I have popped one day old snakes. Just be gentle....

I actually prefer probing to popping, but you really have to be careful with neonates.
