Yes. Its a long probed with a rounded end so it doesnt pierce the snake

yea you dont want to just shove anything up there haha. You can get probing kits for fairly cheap. But please get someone to show you how to do it before you try it! Videos arent always the best at telling you how to do this, it is better to have someone physically show you. You can really hurt the snake if you dont know what your doing. I have had snakes brought to me that were females but somebody didnt know how to probe and they popped through the cloaca, its easy to do if you dont know what your doing.

It takes a sexing probe and actualy knowing how to use it to determine a snakes gender.See the link to see what probes look like. http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/...sexing-probes/

Most of the probes come in kits of 3, 5, 6, or 8. I was wondering if anyone had any specific rules of thumb for determining which size to use on which snake/age.

Just got mine from Reptile Basics for $20 + shipping.
You can find them cheaper on e-bay but I was ordering flex-watt and some other stuff so I got a probe kit too
