One of the babies

Here is a picture of one of the babies I am holding back from my 061808 litter.

Hog Island Hold back - 002

Haven’t sexed them all yet, I have several that are being refusing food (dumb snakes). They are having to be force fed. Once they are all stable and eating.. I’ll sex them then..

    Please to be explaining. How does one sex a snake? Do you have to buy it dinner first?

    hmm well not really.. but I do make sure they are eating first… so I guess technically… yes.

    2 ways…

    1.. you can pop a snake.. what that is is.. placing your fingers by the vent and extraverting the inverted hemipenes (you roll the snake and make it's thingies pop out.) (yes thingies.. two of them). If they pop out. bingo.. itsa boy! if not… well it could be a female.. or just doesn't want his thingy out.

    2… you probe the snake with a special small rod.. if the rod goes in a certain amount.. it is a boy.. it will not go in as far if it is a female…

    Class dismissed!
