    It's not in any of our possession. I wouldn't suggest popping a snake that size.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Popping and probing are safe as long as the prober and or popper are learned in the procedure. It was just a suggestion. Breeders and handlers that are familiar with the procedures do it all the time safely on adult and juvenile and hatchlings alike. You must know your landmarks and the anatomy of the reptile.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    I've never liked popping snakes of any size. I'll palpate them though. Probing is still superior as far as % error; well, then of course there's ultrasound and endoscopy, but why go that far. I'm babbling because that's a very neat snake; I don't know how I didn't see this thread earlier.

    In any case, I hope Jeff can obtain him/her. I think it's a amazing looking reptile. I would love to have some of of those babies! Lol.
