    How To Probe - Help

    Anyone have any good "how to" videos on how to probe balls? Or would you recommend I have someone experienced teach me in person?

    Having someone teaching you would be best, if not done properly you can injure your snake.

    I don't know of any how to videos, but it can harm the snake if done wrong, so I'd recommend having someone who knows what they're doing show you how to do it.

    Make sure you use rounded probes, and be very very very (did I mention very?) gentle.

    Re: How To Probe - Help

    Though I'm hesitant to try it myself, without being taught in person, these are very informative:

    Lots of BPs, and still not enough!

    This is addictive...what did I get myself into?...
