Question Popping on Sonoran Gopher Snakes

I have a question about popping Sonoran Gopher Snakes. I have a six footer, I probed it and thought it was a male and then tried the popping method and it looks as though its a female. Now i also purchased another that was sold to me as a male and tried the popping method and now i got the same results as the albino. i also did it on my ball python and saw the hemipenes. Now this may be a dumb question but are sonoran gopher snakes harder to sex or am i doing something wrong?

Regardless of the species, popping is easiest on babies. Experienced hands can often pop larger snakes, but that doesn't mean it is going to work for everybody. The gender of a 6 ft gopher should be pretty easily identified just by looking, but probing is generally considered the most foolproof method. If you are confident in your probing skills, use that method.
