Post Male Popping Pic

This is a pic of me popping my male. This really shows the hemipenes pretty good. If you learn to pop or want to try it, this is what you will look for in a male.
I do not have a female Corn right now, so if someone could post a pic of a female being popped, I think this thread would really help some new keepers.
PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL when doing this...I WILL NOT feel bad for you if you come to me crying that you watched this video and hurt your snake. I did it perfectly fine, and if you follow the directions you should be able to do the same.

This is the video that I learned off of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMqN402TiVg
It demonstrates on a Ball Python, however the same method is used for Corns. This video is credited to Ralph Davis.

My Male Amel being popped displaying hemipenes on either side...they appear to be small "tube-like" things that are somewhat red or pink in color...

This is all a repost of what is in "Crush's Progression Thread" but this is for the people who don't follow Crush's thread....

Great shot of the hemipenes! I learned how to pop myself not too long ago, but this was still very helpful!

I have a male that I could try on, I just haven't yet. I'm afraid of hurting him.

Oh and am I the only one who read this as "pooping thread"? I looked at it again when actually clicking on it and realized it said popping... but still... I feel like a dumb brain.

If you think you are going to hurt him, just start out soft...you will quickly be able to feel how much pressure you need, and it is different for each one

Good luck, and you should watch that video if you haven't, helped me alot
There is another one from 8 Ball Pythons on there somewhere....

I watched Kathy Love's video on it and while at the ReptiCon show in Charlotte I had Bill Love show me to pop. It's just a matter of getting up the courage to try it on my known boy.

And thanks for the encouragement!

Yeah, I'll have to hold mine over somethign that I don't mind if it gets poopied on.

Bah, silly work computers...

Okay, I think I'll go try to pop my boy. If I break him though I'll be so sad and it'll be totally your fault! J/K At any rate you have convinced me to go ahead and try.

Oh good luck! Please let me know how it goes!
I'm going to attempt this tomorrow!
Like you, I just never have been able to build up the courage to do it!

It went well. I got the hemipenes to come out, though Zinn wasn't too happy about it.
