There are often questions about sex of snake and I found this, thought it might be helpful:

http://www.cornsnake.co.uk/Sexing.htm

It talks about tail shape, probing and popping.

You're right, although popping does come under the title 'Who to sex a baby'.

They should have that in the warnings bit at the bottom.

It's a good link, but it doesn't stress enough about popping being potentially dangerous to a young snake.
I've done it in the past, but under supervision AND after watching and being watched on 'dummy runs'.
A guy just up the road from me was telling me how he's known about snakes dying because of lack of experience and/or training when people are popping.
