The technique does take some practice, and some people never seem to get a "feel" for it. After a while, you'll know a female within a 1/4" of the vent and won't need to go any further to feel the "BB's". Sometimes if they roll the tail as you pull your finger back, you'll only feel one, sometimes you'll miss. I'd say make sure you're using your thumb on the top side and your index finger under the snake for more sensitivity. Also, pay attention to how it drops off immediately after the vent on those you don't feel the bb's on. As long as you have babies to practice on, life is good!! Take care
