Popping Hatchlings

[Kourtneyhk]

I was informed by my normal reptile vet that probing should ONLY be done by those who know what they are doing, especially with babies unless they wish to wish extreme damage to their tiny little reproductive organs. He almost suggested popping to be the safest. I don't prefer it, honestly. But I haven't had to do it. I have literally bought every animal already knowing the sex before purchasing him or her. I believe that video was extremely helpful so thank you!

Not that I don't think "inexperienced" persons inappropriately performing popping could do equal damage, but a probe might be a bit worse. Just saying.

Maybe look up some serious videos on probing? It's really a careful practice. You're going inside something very itty bitty. I know I can't do it. My hands shake so I am probably screwed forever anyway when it comes to the matter.

I find probing adults is pretty easy, I've never probed a squirmy little baby though. That's my worry, they're just so much more fragile!

Oh my gosh I actually did it right!!! I watched that video and I (for the first time) managed to pop my little male Nana! YAY!!! I can sort of sex things! Fantastic! THANK YOU!

I meant to get on here and thank you earlier, but I managed to pop my hatchlings as well! Looks like I have three male spiderbellies and three females, as well as a female yellowbelly! Obviously I will be having to try to probe the females (which still terrifies me like no other, mind you), but we will see!
