Best place to get your ball pythons sexed?

[OtterGoRun]

I have NO idea what gender my two balls are, and I would love to know! I was wondering where I should take them... a reptile vet? Wait for a reptile show to come around? None of the above? Thanks!

Personally I had Hera sexed at a local reptile shop that has a good rep (I am now seeing many things there that bother me so I stopped going) but they sexed her as female. Now unless you plan on breeding you don't really need to know what sex they are but since I DO plan on breeding in the future I am going to be taking her to a well known reptile vet at some point and have him sex her.

I'm also going to see if he can teach me how to pop/probe so that I know how to do it as well. I know the methods but if done incorrectly it could hurt her and I would never do anything to hurt my babies.

tldr : I would take them to an experienced breeder or a good reptile vet.

A good reptile vet or if you know a good breeder in your area.

My local reptile shop is run by a guy named Bruce Delles, he was kind enough to sex my carpet for me.

The "best" way is to learn to do it yourself from someone you trust.

how about a singles bar LOL.
but seriously any herp vet or store specializing in exotics should be able to do it for you

I would think right near or even at the snake's vent would be the place to start...

Thanks all. I don't know any breeders in this area, so I'll probably call the vet and see how much they would charge for it.

Check for a local herp club near you.
