Sexing

[Sirensong26]

I accidentally put sexting in the title line and then realized my mistake an instant before I posted it. Thank GOD!!!

I was wondering if anyone in the forum knows a good place in Hamilton Ontario Canada I can take my pin to get officially sexed. I tried to pop her (using pronoun for sake of a pronoun) after watching god only knows how many videos on youtube, but I don't know if I did it right. I'm mostly scared that I'll push too hard (plus her butt looks like a sausage right now and I don't want to push all her feces out). The store I bought her from didn't know.

If you go to Reptiles Canada, Youll see ALOT of breeder's around Toronto area, Many im sure would help you if you drove her there free. I learned from a breeder aswell. You could also contact Port Credit Pets (a local herpstore in Toronto ON) And they'd gladly help!

My advice is to get ball-tipped probes and do it that way. More reliable, safer, and I would presume less discomfort for the snake.

That's surprising to hear, because I was told otherwise, that popping was a better method with less discomfort for the snake. I'm guessing there are pros and cons for both. Can anyone give me an objective pro and con list for each?

Both if done incorrectly can be uncomfortable and damaging to a snake.


Popping

Fast
Easy
Reliable

(Snake can hold in there junk)
Can hurt snake if to much pressure is applied the wrong way


Probing

More accurate


Time consuming
More invasive
Need tools
Can damage snake if pushed to hard
