And the vids I have seen have never had a hatchling probed in them. Are they easier to just pop? I have also never popped a hatchling. But I have some on the way so I gotta get ready for them!
Thanks!!!!

I will be probing my hatchlings, yes. I've probed snakes that are under 100g before with zero issues. I don't see why you can't probe them. As far as popping, I know the general concept, but I just can't seem to invert the hemipenes. I'm just going to stick with what I know since I am confident with my skills

It really is personal preference. Some people are comfortable popping, some more comfortable probing.

When I have hatchlings, I'll be sure to make another video
