Well, I tried 6 out of 9 babies, but they all were kind of inconclusive. Some seemed deff. female, others would probe deeper but only 3-5 scales. I think I was just being a little timid. I've had a few very nice people offer to help show me, so looks like I'll be doing that.
I did probe and prove out Alpine as a male! yay! He had the 'BB' feel when he was born so it's nice to know I did that one right. It seems much easier to probe the larger snakes. He's an '03 albino from my first litter, he was the only one I kept (the litter was born premature and only 4 survived). I kind of like how this pic came out even though it's blurry.


No bites happened (although one tried!) and no pooping either. I really appreciate all of the tips and tricks (rolling the probe, using rubbing alcohol to clean in between snakes, etc) that were posted. Thank you all!
Puzzle, one of the babies I didn't probe yet, my pick of the litter from the hypo harlequins born in '06.


I really need to practice with this new camera! haha
TGIF!
