Probed my snakes for the first time and im pissed.

Youre right. Why would they let another persons snake who could have god knows what XD didnt think before typing that one did I? haha. Maybe I could have them show me on a normal. I could shell out $30, and there would be no risk of contamination or their animal being injured because I will have purchased it.

Ask around at the show if there is someone that would meet you to help.

Are there any local breeders in your area? You can take your snake to them instead, just in case a show doesn't allow you to being it.

You can ask a show coordinator. When I started I thought about having someone at the expo sex my snakes. It said on the website not to bring personal pets but I asked the coordinator anyway, I told him my situation, I did not know anyone who could help and I would just bring them in to be sexed then back out to the car. He emailed me a little later telling me if I brought them to the expo he would find someone to check for me. Lol, 3 boy snakes later I had my answer! No harm in asking before the expo, if they say no you are no worst off.

Unfortunately the closest breeder I know if is about an hour away, as is the snakeshow that always happens on days that I work XDD The only reptile vet I know of is in pennsylvania, so I cant do that either. I think snakeshow is my best bet. Ive had trouble even contacting the breeder I mentioned and ha ent succeeded in a meet up even in the case of a sale.

Since you aren't experienced in probing yet and it did go in fairly fair I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that it's a female.

I can only hope so. Im very happy to hear that theres still a chance he may be a male. The websites I was looking at listed like 8 scales as a minimum for males, and I dont THINk I probed him incorrectly, but then again, it is my first time and I dont have any experience yet so who knows? For now I think im going to keep treating him like a boy, and simply set new projected weights on his feeding calender just in case. And hey, I nothing wrong with having another codom around. Now that Ive sold myself the idea of getting a little pinstripe male, Im not sure I want to change plans back haha. It would allow me to potentially produce two double codom moprhs in my first year. Thats not a bad start at all. It would just require patience @_@

Im just going to hold tight for that snake show, and maybe I can find a local guy I didnt know about who lives nearby.

As I mentioned earlier, it's most likely a male. Mixups happen with false positive females. I wouldn't sweat it and keep assuming he's actually a he.

Try feeling for the hemipenes, they are very obvious and easy to feel if the male is over a year old!
