Probing question..

I just bought some probes with the Ball tips. Its a 6 piece set, so i have a pretty good assortment of sizes. Can anyone direct me to a few good sites that describes in detail the process? I want to be sure I have all bases covered before I try it. I plan to try it on a known female and a known male first so I know what the results should look like before i try on somehting I am unsure of. Any and all pointers / suggestions appreciated.... thanks..

its really really simple. just make sure to use a good nontoxic lubricant *or water* on the probes. only gently push and if you feel any resistance. STOP. its really really simple, you just have to be patient but firm. Twisting the Probes in your fingers also helps them move. Choose something small, but not TOO small, as you dont want to puncture anything. Just be gentle, youll get the hang of it!

Glad to see youre reading up before hand too. ^_- dont rush!

remember that you want to use a water soluble lubricant

Can't stress the GENTLE part enough, Or the WATER soluble.

It's not hard. I recommend being visually shown before trying it though. Haven't looked at the vid, but I will. May be worth bookmarking for others.

lol i jsut looked at the video links to the probing of corn snakes, and she isnt looking very gentle... looks like poking and stuff. My problem wouldnt be pushing too hard, but not hard enough....

I actually thought the same thing. Glad you feel that way also. Means you'll be careful. But it's not hard at all. I thought of doing one for boas, but I aint Techy enough. LOL
