I'm a big wimp when it comes to the snake squeezing. I'm sure it's safe when done right but I've never felt follicles with them just crawling over my hand (I haven't tried that hard though). I kind of figure they will either lay or not and my knowing doesn't make any difference but I'm seeing where it could be nice to know more than I can tell just looking at them. I can usually tell when they are about to lay by looking at them but this one I’m not sure on.

Heck, I just got brave enough to try popping hatchlings (not adults) in the last year or two. Someday I may get with the program and start actually writing things down and all.


:Have you felt bumps [eggs]? But then Dan of SK told me sometimes you can't feel them because they are so big. I had eggs that I missed before. Maybe I had just blind luck.....lol
