Cloacal Probing

DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF AT HOME!

Probing is a process in which we use a smooth metal probe to determine the gender of a snake.

Probing is painless when carried out correctly, but can be slightly stressful for the snake due to this we have to hold them still for a short time to complete the task. The recommended age for probing is 3 years onwards, although we have probes in a range of sizes for all ages.
