That's what I figured, I just see a lot of debates about it!

I've done a bit of probing, but to this day it still scares the crud out of me! I'm always afraid I'm going to hurt the animal (always the males because, obviously, the probe goes so much farther and they're always the squirrely ones).

FINALLY remembered to pick up some Vaseline and got a good, reliable probe done on my snake. The probe went about 9 scales and wanted to keep going, but I figured at NINE it was pretty obvious he was a boy!
