Amanda wrote this up for me.
My biggest problem was I wasn't running my thumb down far enough. These boys are hung. LOL!
I hope it helps. It took me 5 times before I got it.
I tried to sex them. Gave them a few days off so not to injure/upset them. And, then I tried again. It took getting talked through again to finally get it. (I'm Norwegian...So, I tend to be a little dense. LOL!)
Hope this helps.

Although, I must say I'm a little disappointed. I was kind of looking forward to seeing all those babies in person and possibly picking out 1 or 2 for myself. Oh well, congrats on getting the hang of it.

Talk to you soon,

Matt Crabe

I would love to. And, how easy would it be? You have family that is close. I still say we should meet up. It'd be fun.
Plus I need to thank you for helping me out.

Only other boa enthusiasts could understand your excitement, you are RIGHT! Now comes the part where you need to choose which of your progeny that you want to share with the rest of us!

Congratulations,

Denny

I had six that I was keeping. Only one of them is a male!! I'll have to reconfigure my keeper list now. LOL!
Thanks a ton,

Did you do it last night after we talked? It's pretty cool, huh? Mike taught me how on the phone, too. The first little male I felt....it was like the light went on!! Now you can label your pix and I'll look for a little girl who might like to come and live here with me

And you're right. Daniele rocks!!!
