While we're on the subject of probing, I was wondering how you do it? Or is this something I need to watch in person? The reason I ask, is because I've never done it, or have even attempted, but I'm going to be breeding my Balls and I would like to know how to do it, so that I can tell what my offspring are. I've read how to do it, but haven't really attempted. Are there any tricks, I guess is what I'm asking? Also, what does popping involve, as this seems as a more sure way to go? Does either harm the snake in any way? If it's not done right, I'm sure it would, but are hatchlings too small? I would also like to check out the juvies I bought, to make sure they are what they are supposed to be. Any thoughts or comments? Just curious, as I will need to know for the future. Thanks.
