New to Probing
Hey Hey Hey HEY,
I got some probes.
I've been reading about it all morning now on the NET and so far this is what I've learned.
I need to lube it up with KY Gel or water, and insert it towards the tail gently but kinda in a strong manner.
If it goes deep its a boy and a girl it stops early.
I think it was like 2 - 4 or 5 scales for a girl and anything over that its a boy!
I also heard it is kinda bouncy at the end its a boy and if its sorta hard its a girl?! and I little blood happens once in a while?? *scary*
I've already ask the vet if she can but she hasnt the tools, and doesnt know how to anyway. So I guess I'm on my own!
Give me some pointers if you could, and I'll keep reading!
THANKS Gang!

If you see blood you're doing it wrong.

More like possible permanent Damage... I wouldn't see it as a good thing or a laughing matter... best of luck to you on learning though!
I'm going to be investing in some probes myself here in the near future...
Always a good thing to know and have experience in, especially when you are breeding, have intent to breed or for buying and making sure what your getting.

Not being mean or rude here,you COULD hurt your snake permanantly if probed wrong.I do not suggest you doing this "blindly" until you have someone show you in person.If your vet does not know how to probe i kinda wonder if she is a REAL herp vet.It might seem not knowing how to probe is not a big issue to some,it just seems weird that a vet not knowing how to do it.

Yeah, something so simple as sexing a snake is something any vet working with reptiles should know...Wether they are an actual herp vet or not.

agreed
I had my vet show me how to do it and then she let me try while supervising me.
I ordered my own probes and I'm comfortable doing it now but before I had professional direction there is now way I would have tried.

My vet isn't a herp vet.
If I had a herp vet in the city I would go to them.
She has had snakes for a while and has experience with them, she seems to know everything else, other then how to sex them.
She even helped my BP will his poop problem. We gave him some Olive Oil! YUMMY!
anyway one of my managers at work used to be big into snakes and I asked him if he knew how to do it.
He does so he's gonna come over and give me a hand.
I can't wait to see who is a girl and who is a boy. Hopefully I wont have to change there names! lol

I dont think giving your snake olive oil is a good idea .
