Was considering getting my snake popped to find out sex, just wanted advise on what age this should be done at or is there an age where it should not be attempted.

Have a local reptile shop near, I'm sure they can do it but have heard bad stuff about them and don't want them to do it just for the money and sake of it.

Thanks for advice

I've called three different places and no one will pop them until they've eaten and shed. Aparently I'm too impatient o.O

old enough for a male to hold his man bits in. I don't know how old that is, generally after 3 months-ish you're better off with probing

What's the oldest?

they can be popped straight out of the egg

Can they be popped from early ages? My four are almost a week old now. I have a local reptile shop that I'm sure would do them, but is it too early?

Have just been up reptile shop found one I never knew about that will do it for free. Result

Only hatchlings can be popped safley. And if done by someone that have little experience, it can really damage the snake. Your best chance is waiting until the are about 3ft and getting them probed, again by someone with experience. Some can give false sexing, breeding is the only 100 percent way to know x
