Probing adults is much easier than popping adults because they are much stronger. Also when you pop males "the right way" they have much more than little "nubs" if you know what I mean. It is very obvious if you have a male or not when you pop a snake the proper way.

females tend to have very small points that would make an unexperienced herper beleive that it would be a "small" male. if its a male, you will know. but to garuntee you should have your snake probed.
