Re: Probing 5 scales
Well, with males it usually just slides right in really easy.
I don't even have to count the scales to know.
This one is tougher and just stops. It also appears female when popped.

So what's the problem then? One scale?

Re: Probing 5 scales
It probes deeper than my other females. And when I mention it goes 5 scales, everyone has been telling me it's not a female and it's really a male. The doubt was planted in my mind and I wanted to see if I was right thinking female or if the "critics" were right saying male.

Re: Probing 5 scales
I'm acctually glad this thread came about. I took my newly acquired "female" to the vet and the vet I found around my area is part of ARAV, so i knew he had a lot of experience with reptiles. He is also a very active member of the local herp community, so i had confidence in going to see him.
He probed her pretty deep and said he was 80% sure it was a female. He said it could be a deep female or a very shallow male. She probed about 4-5 scales.
After reading this, i have a bit more confidence. I guess I won't know for sure till she drops some eggs :D

But seriously ... how does it "feel"? ... even at one scale of depth you can tell ... males are "tight" and females are "wide" ... once you have a bunch under your belt, it gets pretty easy.
