You might want to mention your location (city, st) and see if anyone here lives nearby that is experienced enough to lend you a hand.

Dr. Seward has a VHS tape entitled, "Determining Sex in Snakes". It shows you how to properly probe and pop ball pythons.

The best way to learn is to have someone walk you through it a couple of times. Yes there are websites and videos that show you how to do it, but it's better to learn with someone right there so you get the feel of it and so you don't accidently injure your animals. A herp vet will show you how to do it, if you have any local retile breeders in the area most will be willing to walk you through a couple of tries. Contact your local herp society if you don't know of any in your area - they'll point you in the right direction.
