palpating
I know people think palpating/feeling for hemipenes is an inaccurate sexing method: just letting everyone know that Brian Barczyk uses palpating quite often. That makes me feel that it's a reliable method of sexing. Thoughts?

Re: palpating
I have palpated my Kenyan Sand Boas with no difficulty at all. Some species may be more difficult to do, but with Kenyans, if done correctly, you can feel the hemipenes "snap" back, kibd of like a rubber band. I also decided to try it on my adult Royal, and had the same results as my male Kenyans. Could definitely feel the hemipenes snap back.I'm sure others will knock this, but palpating is my preferred method to sex my Kenyans, and I haven't been wrong yet...but if I did make a mistake in sexing, I definitely would make it right with my customer.

Re: palpating
I've seen Brian Barczyk use it on his royals several times. That's what made me curious as to how accurate it is

Enjoy...
I would not buy a snake that was palpated (probing will be most accurate)...that is me personally. If you do this and are wrong, you're gonna have one pissed off customer.
I think the comment by KKgal is spot on tho, if you're wrong, you'd better be willing to make it right.

Re: palpating
Palpation is how I determined Cloud was male. I originally thought he was female, but after palpating I came to the conclusion he was male. Bud had much too thick of a tail to tell so I don't know. Now it's the same for Cloud; his tail is too thick for me to feel anything. Of course, I don't care what gender they are, but it would still be interesting to know. Maybe I'll have Cloud sexed one day to see if I was right.

I did have very much info on Palpating whatsoever. It got me curious again after learning that a famous, reputable breeder (Brian) uses this method to sex some of his snakes.
Any chances that it could be accurate if done correctly?

Re: palpating
Isn't this the same subject that ultimately led to someone getting banned before?

No. I was banned because of the way I treated other members. I don't have any reason to argue now, though. It's just weird because 50% of people will say it's completely accurate if you do it right, the other 50% will say it's completely completely inaccurate.

It wasn't the subject. It was the way that I responded to others that originally got me banned.

Re: palpating
Yeah, I don't see how the subject of palpation itself would get someone banned. I would say it's as he claims; his behavior and not the subject of the discussion.

Led to being the key phrase here. No one said it was the topic itself.
