| 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. |
