Yes they can be probed but there isn't the extreme difference between genders that you see in other species. Female bloods have deep scent glands that probe almost as far as males, and sexing errors are very common in this species. Both genders have spurs. Male Hemipenes are a purplish color, female scent organs are pinkish. Both can be everted in young animals.
Comparison between several specimens is helpful.
If you have only one I suggest you find an experienced Blood breeder to sex your snake.
