So I suppose you could surmise thay all of these methods are useful in determining the sex of a snake. Seems to be recognized that pribing is the most accurate unless they've been "proven" which is definitive.

For me, the two methods useful for sexing are popping (hatchlings) and probing (adults).
I think visually tail sexing (on adults/young adults) would be more useful than physically palpating (specifically in Cornsnakes). There are some here who are very good at it. Once you recognize the differences, you can sex that way as well, but not always. There are snakes that can fool you on that one too.

Prior to probing sub-adult and adults I always give them a "soft pop" first to see if there are sperm plugs present. It eliminates the need to probe on occasion.

The best thing to do is to start a new thread of your own if you have a question
