I've learned to use a table leg for palpating, works great.
place the snake on the floor and let the snake grab a table leg and pull away from you while you gently squeeze upwards on the belly.
It makes even the hardest ones to palpate much easier.
When they pull away from you they can't tighten the belly muscles up nearly so much. making it easier to feel the eggs/follicles.
