Question about finding someone that can probe snakes

[Lana's_mom]

I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone near the Dallas, TX area that has experience with probing snakes to determine gender? I don't know anything about it and so I won't even attempt it. But I want to get the genders confirmed on a couple of my Ball Pythons, and to be able to start to learn about how to do it safely. Any suggestions would be great, Thanks

Id rather it be popping than probing. Less error and injury when popped than probing

Is it safe to pop adult Ball Pythons?

Popping an adult can be a little bit more harder due to more mussle mass, and more risky due to matured repo organs. Start slow normaly ill message the tail to relax the muscels and te snake though this doesn't always work. I would recommand finding a herp vet that knows how. Most vets will show you how. But id recommand practicing on younger one gently. When it starts to redden stop. Im in houston, but from denton if I was u there I could do it for $5 a snake, and then show you how.
