Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

sexing Rosy Boas
Prior to going to the NARBC at Tinley Park, IL, I probed my three young rosies to verify their sex. All three probed to be male. At Tinley, BHB had some Rosies I was interested in and asked if they could sex them for me because I was wanting females. The guy started looking for spurs and when I asked him to probe them, he said that that was not an accurate predictor in Rosies as all of his males and females probed to the same depth. Now this caused some concern because now I am thinking maybe my males are not males. I went home, checked my books, checked Rosyboa.com, and other sources and they all made reference to probing.
My question is, is probing in rosy boas accurate or is the presence of spurs the more accurate predictor. Any input would be beneficial.
Thanks,

Probing is usually accurate.
If you want to be sure, popping is a method that is usually accurate. Though, whatever you pop a female, make sure you pop it a few more times, because they could've been holding back their hemipenes. I dont see the problem in probing though, a lot of people say that is the most accurate way.
