    Probing Issue

    Yesterday my friend was probing for the first time after being shown how to do from a breeder and watching numerous videos on youtube about how to do it. Everything was going ok as he was probing his male pastel but when he went to remove the probe, the hemipene came out with the probe. After a few seconds of being back in the the vent, the hemipene "let go" of the probe. Is this a normal thing? Or was something done incorrectly to cause this?

    Lube is your friend when it comes to probing. Sounds like he might not have used enough of it, and the flesh kind of stuck to the probe.

    Probing Issue

    That's what I though. I have never probed anything either so it was quite a scary experience to say the least.
