Ok, I lost my probes the other day. I need a new set. Who has bought probes in the last few years and can recomend some? The smallest one needs to be able to sex a baby BP. They can be expensive, just so long as they are nice and work well.

Ben, I have a few sets of good probes. They are the ball tip probes. In my opinion the ball tip probes are the best. I should have them when we hook up for that breeding loan deal. Thanks david

they're all pretty much the same. I doubt the quality of one brand over another is null to none.

I picked up a nice 8 set of no name ball tipped probes for 15 bucks and believe or not, they sex snakes.

yah, but if they have a little weight on the handle, they slide in better. Its just a better mouse trap. I have a $15 set too (I think someone actually gave them to me). The smallest one isnt small enough. The new ones dont have to be real nice, just have to work for baby balls. I used to have a good set, but they have turned up missing.
