    Where did you get your probe kit?

    Just wondering where everyone got their probe kits. I'm going to an expo next weekend so I wanted to get some prices for comparison.

    Try and get ball point probes. They're a bit safer to use.

    I really just need them for my adult animals. I have absolutely zero success at popping them. I can do the hatchlings and sub-adults with no problem, but I just can't do the adults.

    You should be able to pick a set of adult probes for 20-25. If they want more than that grab em on eBay and +1 on the ball tip. They are a little easier on the animal.

    I've used reptile basics for lots of things, and I agree they are amazingly fantastic! I also checked out ebay and everything seems to start around $15, and goes up to about $40. Is this about what everyone's paid?
