    probe sets?

    Has anybody bought/used this set of probes? I'm trying to find a good set so any insight would be greatly appreciated. Looking for something I can use on hatchlings as well as other, larger snakes.

    Thanks,

    I've used similar and they worked fine. If I knew where the heck I put them I'd save you some money and send them to you.

    I quit probing years ago. To me it's easier to pop them, even the grown snakes. I never had any mishaps probing, I just prefer to pop.

    I also have not probed in so long that I've forgotten the last time I did it. I also find popping both babies and adults relatively easy.

    I've tried popping and I think I'm being too gentle. I need to find someone to show me how to do it properly, I'm afraid if I apply too much pressure I'll cause irrevocable damage. Probing on the other hand seems much more straightforward so a better choice for me since I don't know anybody in the area to show me firsthand how to pop. Thank you all for your input, ideally I'd like to learn both methods so I can double and triple check myself.
