Emilio,i dont think some are against it,its just kinda unreliable for most when it comes to Adults and some babies.Once you start probing and popping you will see the differances.I have been probing now for about two years and i make a mistake every now and then.Perfect example i brought home two adult ball pythons a couple weeks back that i probed at first as females(i had no lubricant).Well i get home and take them to a freind for a second opinion and low and behold i had two MALES .Well of course they went back .Now the popping i am better at the corn snakes then the ball pythons at this time.It takes practice practice and more practice.
