Trust me, popping is not a guaranteed way of sexing snakes, even more so if the are bigger. Hatchlings yes it can be done but I will tell you from experience it is not always 100% accurate. Probing is the only accurate way of distinguishing the difference. Even some of the best breeders in the states will tell you this and some have actually sent 2 males or 2 females when they were supposed to be a pair. Just a thought, not trying to be negative just looking at other reasons why?
