probing questions

What is the best lube for probing snakes i just bought a probing kit and a freind of mine is going to teach me how to do it properly

K Y Jelly works great

Vaseline works very well from what I've heard. However, KY Jelly does not sound like a good idea. I don't think I would put something I use for contraception lubricant on my snake.

Petroleum jelly is like the same thing as Vaseline as well and works

A little water works fine for me! A tiny bit of vaseline will also do the trick.

KY Jelly is perfectly safe to use as a lubricant to probe snakes and is widely used for that purpose.

Maybe your friend will teach you the best way to sex a snake?....popping it :gj:

i have the concept down for popping im just a little afraid to try it cause im still not 100% sure on how to do it

popping is safer for the snake and seeing the organs visually lets you know for a fact what the snakes sex is.
I have seen way more people probe snakes wrong and come up with the wrong sex...

Popping takes practice, it's the only way you learn, and boy is it satisfying to know you won't get taken purchasing another snake of the wrong sex.

Ralph davis's pro popping video on youtube is an excellent video showing technic :)
