This is the site it came off:

Sexing* Corn* Snakes

P.S Please don't try this at home unless you are experienced in this matter!!!!! VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR SNAKE!

Thanks Lulu. Good point about not trying it yourself unless you're very experienced, or have someone who is, teach you how.

i have to say tho, when i saw the popping i actually felt queezy lol

You can only use the popping method on quite young snakes, before the muscles become better developed. I think it's generally safer than probing though.

to be totally honest i dont think i would try any lol

I felt pretty queasy too. Does that hurt the snake?
When my dad saw the probing, he said, ''Oh, no. Don't stick that needle there! Eek! No! no, no no!"

Mikhaila, I'm pretty sure it doesn't hurt the snake, if it's done properly. It must be pretty uncomfortable though. Stressful too.

i think it stresses the snake but i dont have a clue if it hurts. as i said tho i wouldn't do it. i think i have worked out how to tell a snakes sex by the size and shape of the tail and wether i am right or wrong i still wouldn't consider trying it!

My ole Florida Blue that was 42 inches long... well, she nailed me good during a probing.

So I don't think it hurts, but I do think it is kinda like "getting too personal"! LOL!

That was neat, and very interesting!!! now I don't know if it hurts them at all,but I wouldn't like anyone pushin on me or inserting anything in to me like that...lol.........very kool, and once again do not try this unless you've
be trained to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
