It never damaged them any.. just was a mistake like anyone else could make. I have heard of breeders mis-sexing snakes, no one is perfect. Now that I have more practice, I know how to probe better, but everyone starts somewhere..
Now I am just wondering... How can you probe a female as a male without causing any damage? Was it probed as a "'tween" male, or a whopping 7 subcaudal male?
This is not an attack on you are anything... I am just trying to understand your reasoning. I have heard of people missexing males as females multiple times, but I can understand how that can be done without any injury to the snake. From my current understanding, when you come to the end of a female, that's it... go any farther and you've ruptured something.

Re: Fat Man
Well even though he's big doesnt necessarily mean he's a female. Males can get pretty large too, depending on how much you are feeding him. My biggest male is 52 inches and i think he is finally about done growing lengthwise but we only feed him once every other week so he doesnt get too fat. If we let him he could and would get huge.
