Why is it impossible to find $exed hatchlings for sale?

SnakeFreak Oct 14, 2005 12:33 PM

I'm looking for a female hatchling Argentine Black & White, but I can't find any $exed hatchlings. Is there a reason breeders don't probe hatchlings? Does anybody know of any breeders that do?

A) the chances of being correct are minimal - if you're a breeder, you don't want someone coming back in a year or so and being mad at you for selling them a female only to find out it developed into a male

B) the chances of injuring the animal while probing them are much higher in hatchlings.

From what I've heard they can only probe them once if they do it again thier tail will fall off.
