    Sexing a ball python

    I know you can either sex or probe your bp to find the sex. I have 2 bps one from pets mart (supposedly a female) one from pet co (supposedly a male). I would like to sex them and find out for sure. They are about 2-3 months old. Are they too old to "pop" them? Should I try to probe them myself? I have watched many a snake been popped and probed. Or should I find a vet to probe them?

    Never too old for popping. If you don't know how to probe or pop, then find someone to help you out. You can do damage by doing it wrong.

    Sorry to derail a but, but where is a good area to get your snaked sexed for cheap/free? I have an unidentified corn, and I do not know hot to probe.

    Re: Sexing a ball python

    I'm in the sane boat as Elizabeth. I'm scared I might not do it right and end up hurting my snakes. Is there a video that shows how to do it?

    Re: Sexing a ball python

    Well that is true. Do you know someone reliable that is a breeder in your area that might teach you??

    Just a suggestion
