I think my snakes are confused.

Probing for a female should go almost all the way to their tail. Since there is nothing stopping the probe. In a male its the hemipene that keeps the probe from going too far.

Please research before giving advise like this on the forums...No one should ever attempt to probe a snake without being trained in person by someone who knows how to do it properly. You have given some wrong advise here that can kill an animal if tried by the OP!!
