Hello,
I wanted to know from those of you who probe your snakes to find out the sex if you use a lubricant of some kind?
Thanks!

I just lick the probe between snakes.....lol. j/k

Seriously, KY JELLY is best. Don't get the spermicidal one, though. Some people use neosporin (NEVER get the type with pain killer!), but I wouldn't use that on ones you plan to breed that season. On babies, I'll admit it works great - maybe even better than KY. Standard Vaseline is all people used to use, and it'll work, too. I don't like it as much as the KY Jelly, though.

I wonder what the banks reaction is when they look at my credit history......
Go get some ky jelly from the store and then go buy some mice and gerbils....

OMG. I almost peed myself laughing over that one!
