Male Popping Pic

So I just tried it on Raider, and he was not very cooperative at all. But once I finally got him positioned, I tried popping, but he had something else in mind..
He pooped all over me. So I cleaned up and went to try it again, only to have the same thing happen for a second time. Needless to say, being pooped on is no pleasant experience. So I guess I will wait a few days, or maybe even wait till feeding day, to try popping them so that way there is a better chance that their poop chutes are all cleared out so I won't have to be pooped on anymore...haha.

Oh well, better luck next time, eh?

:roflmao: Sorry, I couldn't help it. Are you sure you weren't pooping him, instead of popping him. LOL!!

Well, it is the ultimate indication of love, anyway.

Haha! Maybe I was...
:puke02:

As he was squirming around, I was getting quite frustrated with him and quietly said under my breath "Hold still, you little sh*t!"...Well, he must have heard me and thought that there was a pretty good way to show me that he was not going to cooperate today...So he proved himself to be quite the "little sh*t"
 
Haha....well atleast you tried today :)
As I see it...atleast when he poops on me, I don't have to clean his substrate :) lol
Just don't give up...if you are making him poop, then you are atleast half way there...you have found the vent, and are most likely holding in the right spot..
Just a litte pressure on the scale above(closer to his head) the vent, and the get your other thumb about a 1/4 inch below(closer to his tailtip) and with some pressure, "roll" your thumb up...
I'm sure if I could do it, anyone can :) Lol...

Well, it is the ultimate indication of love, anyway.

^ Remind me to never, ever under any circumstance ask of yours and Christine's bedroom habits?!?!?!!?? :roflmao:

LOL sorry he pooped on you. But you tried at that counts. Good luck next time!! ;)

Josh that's just sooooo wrong. :p
 
i tryed this on both my ball pythons and the 1 i was told is female seemed right but my younger male i couldnt get anything to show and im just too nervous to try again without being shown in person thnx for that post.
 
I am just soooo wrong aren't I ;)

Duane, atleast you tried...I am pretty sure my BP is a female because I have popped her twice and just the pink puffy kinda thing came out, no hemipenes...BUT we could both just have a "stubborn" male...RobbiesCornField said that probing is best way to tell for sure with BPs...I'd give a few days, maybe just before the next feeding and try again...
I am doing some research on probing now...and may try it sometime in the future.

You're welcome for the post, and I hope it helped.

Hmmmm??


:noevil:
 
*grins happily* I just popped my stupid little non-feeder... my silver queen ghost is a boy! Once Dier has digest his/her food, I'm gonna pop him/her too!
 
Josh the guy i got my BP from said the same thing as RobbiesCornField BP's need to be probed for accurate sexing, so needless to say im searching for a probeing kit.
 
You need to exercise EXTREME caution when probing. Before you do it yourself you should have somebody who has done it before (and is experienced in doing it) show you how to probe. :)
 
Em you beat me to it! I read that this morning, but had to leave for work...
Duane, do the same as me...study study study...and before you even try it, find someone that already knows how and have them show you.

My plan is to trust my popping for now, but before I buy a mate for "her", bring her to the next show. Whichever vendor I find that I like, I will simply put it to them like this.
You show me how to probe, and confirm the sex of MY snake, and I will buy the opposite sex of YOUR snake...

I think they would do it...

-Josh
 
I think they would too. That's a great idea!

Just popped Dier... pops as female! :dancer: Completely different looking from how Stupid did.
 
The best way to have a snkae sexed is by the breeder. If you try to do it without having alot of experience as it says in all the rat snake books I know you can severly damage the snake.
 
David I am asking you nicely...AGAIN to stay out of my threads. Apparently you can't give your two cents without ticking everyone off, including me. I just got "warned" for the last thread that you butted into, and I seriously do not appreciate it since PAGES back I asked you the same thing: To stay out of my threads.

Regards,
-Josh
 
josh, I have as much right as anyone to post. If you notice I didnt say "Hey you idiot your gonna hurt it" I said very nicley that you can hurt a snake that way if not done right. You got a warning because I backed off and you still flamed me. I don't appriciate the thing about me being a bad keeper.
All the best,
David
 
David - I have never once said anything to you in any thread about anything. But I have read and followed your exploits around the forum.

Here is my opinion...
I think you really like snakes, I think you want to learn all you can about them, I think you want to share information you have learned. The problem is, a lot of the information you sprout off is not entirely accurate (or in some cases not accurate at all).

In this particular instance - anyone can learn to "pop" their baby snakes. It is not difficult and if done correctly, can be done successfully by anyone. Yes, a snake can get hurt if it is not done correctly, but to post that no one but a breeder should do it is not true. If you read this thread from the beginning - Josh has been very forthcoming about how to do it and to be careful about it. He posted a very good video and even discussed Kathy Love's video. Now if Kathy has a video posted on her website where anyone can learn how to do it - wouldn't you think that is good information? I mean, Kathy is one of the foremost breeders of cornsnakes in the country.

I really think you should keep a lot of your "facts" and opinions to yourself as it seems that every time you try to post them, you end up in one argument or another and are never willing to see that maybe someone else is right and you are wrong. You want to make a good impression with people and have them be your friends on this forum, yet all you keep doing is sticking your foot in your mouth instead. Maybe if you took some time, backed off and actually read and learned from some of the people on here, you wouldn't feel so "attacked" all the time.

Just my opinion though...
 
Hey Josh, just wanted to know that I successfully popped my snakes just now! My ghost, Avery, easily proved to be a male. (It was SO easy!)
My amel, Red, and my normal, Raider, are females. At least I'm pretty sure of it. I'm 90% sure that Red is a female, and I'm 60% sure that Raider is female as well.

Anyhow..just wanted to share the news! Now I gotta go fix my sig!
