first off, thank you so much to all that replied! It's nice to hear some first hand experiences, makes me less nervous.

I've tried to feel the BBs on all 3 litters now but two days the snake feels like it has it, the next 3 times, I don't feel it at all... it was just so inconsistant for me. Maybe I am just not squeezing hard enough to really feel it (I've never gotten one to pop either). Some I never felt the BBs on, but I just don't trust it yet. I wrote down which ones I felt and which ones visually looked male or female and once I probe I'll compare all the results. If I can avoid probing, I'd like to.

Thanks again!
