Default probing corns

Hi, does anyone near me know how to probe corns? And if so, would they be willing to probe them for me?

i bought an amel female, and have a caramel male. The amel has just shown signs of mating behaviour towards my caramel, but is doing what the male usually does.. so i'm a bit confused now!

Lol, would be funny if they were the wrong way round, or maybe you have a gay snake!!!! I'd be careful if they are the wrong wat round, as an 06 'female' may not be big enough to handle laying eggs and you don't want any accidents! I'm assuming they're together as you're seeing mating behaviour but if not I apologise.

Aside from that, if you have a local rep shop someone there might be able to do it, just give them a call!

no theyre not together. i prefer to keep all mine separate, specially when theres such a big age difference!

i put them together to see if the caramel would show any signs of mating behaviour. i think he may still be too small yet though.

Just have a horrible feeling the sexes are the wrong way round! If the caramel is a female, she will NOT be bred from until she is a lot older

Ok I see, good luck with the probing if you find someone to do it! I hope you got them the right way round, it would be a shame if you had to wait longer than expected.

snakes of both sexes show dominance behavour to others, even of the same sex. the amel female may just be saying "i am bigger than you so P*** off my patch"

females do the jerk twitch as well as males..
