Default Probed boy but pops girl

Got some snakes that when probed says boy but when popped lookes like a girl. I know that popping is supposed to be more accurate as probing can give false readings if a boy tenses the probe doesnt go in so far and reads female. So in my head if its probing boy then the probe must be right and maybe just too young to see the little fers dicks?!?!

These are 09 royals

Doesn't meen there's damage at all popping is not 100% because the snake could be teasing. Probing is much more accurate

since when was this more accurate

when you pop the snake can tense the muscles much more so the hemipenes dont come out...so looks like a girl

when probing the snake can tense the muscles much more so it probs girl.

doesnt mean anything at all...just means you need to repeat it until you are at a happy ratio to confirm the gender

I was always taught that popping was more accurate?? Hope the probing hasnt harmed him/her. Probing was done in my local rep shop as I dont know how to. Popped by me as I know how to.

If it is a girl then I got me a good deal.....its a cinny sold as a male therefore cheaper than if its a female but on the flipside....i've already got a cinny female and wanted a male so a can pair them up ARGHHHH

It was probed twice as a boy but each time popped it looks like a girl. Still quite young though. Hemiphines probably not so noticeable

both are about as accurate as each other, if a snake pops as male, then yes its definately male, but if it pops female it could still be a male thats tensed up, and with probing if it probes male, could mean the person probing is doing it wrong, or its a male, if it propbes female it could still be a male tensing up,

if yours probed male, i would be inclined to say it was male, even if it pops female,
