    Sexing can be done by either the probing or the popping method. A lot of breeders prefer the popping method because you can actually see the hemipenes if it's a male (no penes = female, obviously). I wouldn't suggest attempting either of these methods by yourself for the first time - find a breeder in your area that can help you out.

    Pretty much sums it up. And I would add that it probably isn't recommended to pop adults.

    Well, you can pop adults, it's just a lot harder than with babies and better left to experienced keepers.
