It is good that you are going to have an experienced person do this for you as it it possible to injure your snake if this is done incorrectly. Have them work with you to show you how the probing process is done!
This just about covers everything. And I am also glad you're going to have an experienced person help you for the first time. I remember how nerve racking my first probing was! (Is that an awkward statement? )
