After the problems with Cindy I really, really want to know if the rest of my corns are male for sure. A local reptile shop has said they can probe them for me free of charge but said that I should be able to tell by tail shape. Well I can't see much difference in the tails and I want to be 100% sure. So just how safe is probing? What are the risks, if any?

If it is done by an experienced, competant person it shouldn't be a risky thing to do. If it is done badly the snake can be injured by it which can cause all sorts of problems.

If done properly absolutely fine it only takes a couple of seconds
