Funny most other people I know that keep

I found that teh best way to sex them was to trap them between two bottom-halves of cricket tubs and squash gently so that everything is on show!
It can be done quickly and so not stress them too much - and your fingers stay safe too. Works very well for anything small and wriggly. They seem to prefer it to being picked up too.
