Instructions on popping/probing

Passport Jun 16, 2003 07:12 AM

I read that these are the most accurate methods of sexing my snakes but I have never seen either of them performed. Is there a book or video that shows in detail either or both of these procedures? I hope to produce a few nice corns next year and want to know how to accurately call the gender. Even still photos showing how to hold the snake, pop or probe, and the resulting evidence would help. I have Kathy Love's manual and still need more.

VPI's page is pretty good.
