    Determining Sex....
    I'd like to purchase several more BPs, and, as I don't want to rule out breeding in the future, would like to base part of my decision on the sex of my current BP. I'm not experienced in either probing or popping but understand both can be harmful if done incorrectly. My issue is a result of my location however, as at best, I could get it sexed by a herp vet by travelling 600 km, more likely though is about 1200 km. Yes, I live in a rural location. I only have one BP I need to determine, he's (I'm assuming) is about 5 months old. Any thoughts, recommendations, is one safer/easier for an inexperienced individual to perform?

    I believe that popping is considered somewhat safer, but either can end badly.

    Check out these videos they aren't a substitute to seeing it done first hand but they are a start at least.
