    Sexing Hatchlings Question?
    What method of sexing hatchlings do you expierenced breeders consider to be the best, less stressful, most acurite way of sexing for hatchling ball pythons? Popping or probing? I popped my hatchlings last year but I have a good probe set this year. Which method do you'll use?
    Thanks

    I've heard popping is easiest if done correctly.

    Hatchlings fortunately, just like to let it all hang out, very easy to pop, I use the probes for older snakes.

    I'm not the best at popping so I'll be probing my hatchlings this year

    I prefer to pop my hatchlnigs since they so small I be worried i hurt them probing ( not very good at it anyhow)I just squeeze my older snakes and get a sperm plug to come out to know if i got males or females lol..

    My luck would be probing a snake and it jerks on me and now probe sticking out a new hole.
