Thought id ask you guys this since Im having trouble doing it to make sure my snakes are what they were sold to me as.

So what method do you guys use probe/pop?
Which method is safer in your opinions I've heard popping can damage spine
and lastly how did you learn and practice?

Would be interested to hear your learning experiences good and bad

Have tried popping on hatchling but takes a while to get the back I learnt on videos and just attempting it - have only probed corns but it seemed alot easier

as kelf says popping takes a while to get used to.
i probed my royals after watching/reading loads of stuff online but it is a lot easier if you can find someone local who will teach you to probe.
im much more confident with probing after getting a friend to show me how
