Trinkets are so small when hatched... does anyone know how old one should be for an accurate probing that won't injure them?

instead of probing you could try to pop them... When 2 hemispenisses are shown its a male when not... wait a few days and try again again no hemispenisses it's most likely to be a female.

Also, with them being so small, popping could possibly damage the spine. Anyone who is inexperienced with this should not attempt it with wuch fragile little ones

Well You can always look at the base of the tail and the length of the tail. But that ain't accurate. You could wait 10 feedings and about 2 sheddings and the snake will be grown a lot and than try to pop or prob...

Ok, thanks. Also... a rep store i was in this weekend said that one of their Trinkets ate the other in the encloser! I had no idea Trinkets would do that. Have you seen this behaviour? Would i need to keep them separate & keep an eye on them when i put them together for a little lovin' action?

Snakes should always be kept seperately to prevent this from happening. There are a few that can be kept together always once they reach breeding age, but not many....

Trinkets are one I do not know much about, so just to be on the safe side, keep them seperate now and keep on eye on them during breeding.
