    Probing Question

    Is the video on Dan and Colette's site recommended? Dr. Mark Seward's - Determining Sex in Snakes?

    Also, where do you buy a probe kit?

    I want to have my vet teach me how to probe, but I'd like to get my own probe kit first.

    Thanks guys!

    I don't know about the videos, but you can buy probe sets from many reptile retailers.. I believe Matt (justcage) has a set even. Just buy the ball tipped stainless steel type.. usually the set of 6 is good.

    I had my vet teach me how to do it.

    My vet taught me and then sold me all the supplies for my own little probing kit....probes..lil packets of KY jelly...all I added was a small pack of wet wipes (I'm a clean freak okay!) and I'm set to go!

    VPI's video it pretty good on showing the probing of a snake.. I have watched it about 30 times(just for the purty snakes) But yeah if you can get a vet to show you a few times it is always better to see it first hand... And yes I sell them
