How accurate is probing? I tried to pop the 2 normals I just picked up with no luck. I bought a probe set and they both seem to be females - the probe did not go in far at all. Both of them were resisting the probing, but, I'm pretty sure they're girls - should I try again or is it pretty obvious when you have females? My concern, of course, is injuring the animals. This is going to be my first attempt at breeding so I want to make sure I've got the boys with the girls when the fall rolls around.

I watched the Ralph Davis videos but I still don't feel confident sexing the BPs

On another note, my albino king snake is IMPOSSIBLE to pop or probe - susgestions? Anyone else have this problem with kings? or think one method is easier?
