need help sexing my bp

i have never sexed a bp before and i have one that i am unsure about. i watched the videos of people doing it but i am nervous to try it myself without seeing it first hand. does anybody know of anybody in central pennsylvania who can show me? if i bring him/her to the hamburg show in june can somebody do it for me? am i allowed to bring him to a show?
Thanks for your help!! :)

I thought that the only SAFE way of doing this is to take them to someone who is registered and experienced to probe them. I have read that serious injury can be caused by someone who doesn't know what they are doing. As far as I know, there is no other reliable way to know the sex of a BP.

popping is 100% safe if u know what your doing. you should have a professional show you how first. Probing is just as dangerous for an inexperienced keeper.both can result in physical injury to the snake if done incorrectly.

probing is easier in a sense that its universal and can be used on many different types of snakes.... you can't pop a baby RTB or corns lol

Yeah... I went the safe route and took my baby to the vet....

Awesome vid!!

I prefer popping, but have experience probing. Take him to a local pet store? or show?
