View Full Version : Aminal Sexing
Ho do you all sex your animals?
(ps the misspelling was intentional hehe)
I ask the guy, and then confirm with a trip to the vet. If possible I'll ask for verification before purchase (if I really care about the sex)

So far I just trust the breeder. In the future, I will have to learn to probe or pop them myself.
Good poll Kurzix!
Learning how to probe... but still unsure - we take it to a friend {breeder}.

I have monitors.
You can't probe or pop them.
If they evert, it could also be female, females have hemiclitoris that can rival a male, (so I've heard)
Females can mount other males and females.
Males will also mount other males.
The only sure way, according to what I've read, is to wait for eggs.
Sucks, huh?;)

So where did you learn how to pop or probe? I would like to learn, but don't know anyone who knows how.
The place where I get most my snakes are pretty experienced and reliable when it comes to sexing. That's how I know the sex of most of my snakes.

I probe the snakes, incubate at certain temps (leo's), and look and see for pores/bulges etc for the easier ones (lizards). But i wont touch a tiny little snake with probes. Only comfortable with hatchling ball size and up.
Just to mention at the reptile shows we usually have probes so if anyone buys a snake and needs it sexed bring it buy the WCHS table and we will gladly do it for you...
