I have read about and understand the procedure in depth of sexing a snake with probes. I have even read to practice on dead animals (seriously?) or have an expert show you how. My question is, i realize that it can be dangerous but how delicate of a procedure is it? Is the warning out there just for people who would not do it slowly and gently and use common sense? What are the risks and specific injuries that can occur?
