Tracey is getting out of selling probes. It's possible she may have some, but she might have sold out at the latest expo.

Great vid Steffe!

just wanted to share that I got my probing kit in today and I used this video and have successfully probed my snakes for the first time :) I had some trouble figuring out what sizes to use, but after some searching I saw the suggestion for it to be 1/4 of the anal plate, and that worked out. I was SO scared probing my adult female; she has problems staying still and I was sweating worrying about her jerking. She wasn't too happy with me, but it's not like I haven't bought her dinner (many times) first. Just wanted to say thank you and that this video is still immensely useful!

Question; how do you disinfect your probes between uses?

This should definitely be a sticky! Awesome vid!!!! Thanks!!

Sorry I missed this! I just wash them with soap and water.

Say, for a ball python thats 5-7months old. Which one would you recommend to use? Very small one? And would popping okay for small ones?

I use the smallest probe in my kit for hatchlings.

Popping is fine too, I just don't have a feel for it ;)

Wow! this video is awesome and so helpful!
I can (somewhat) pop my snakes but I've always been TERRIFIED to probe them. I know, I know, silly fear, but I'm always afraid that I won't feel that pressure and seriously hurt one of them. I'd really like to learn though since I have a 2100 gram 'female' who is 'built' more like my males, more thin but not skinny.
