Looking for a Minnesotan...

I'm looking for someone with expertise probing snakes that would be willing to teach me the procedure. I'm in central Minnesota. Anyone nearby who can help?

Thanks!

If I ever get down that way...

I would be willing to help. I've only probed a couple times so far, but it was under the supervision of a guy that knew what he was doing. It didn't really seem that hard to me. I will PM you if I get down that anytime in the next few months. If you DO decide to give it a go, I have some advice for you....buy the snake some flowers first! :grin01:

Identical anery

BTW, I have a male anery that looks identical to your new addition. He is a proven breeder. Should you find out yours is female and you want to make more anerys with that look, let me know.

She's not quite big enough yet (just under 31 inches, 204 g), but I'll keep him in mind.

I'm thinking about going to the Minnesota Herp Society meeting in January--maybe someone there will be able to help me. I'd like know for sure what sex all the snakes are before the '07 hatchling season starts because I'd like to pick up another male, IF Freya and Artemis are females like I suspect.

Duh... The one we have that's an anery I think is a male, not a female (I was thinking of Freya, my amel...). But we'll know for sure once I find someone to teach me to probe! The anery is a bit bigger--just over 38" and 358 g, but having just gotten "him," breeding this spring isn't going to happen. Maybe an '08 breeding, though (if "he" is really a "she"...).

Where in Minnesota are you? There are a couple places you can go to, such as Twin City Reptiles, Leaping Lizards, or even the herp sociaty; I can probe aswell.
 
But still not as acurate as probing, not that I trust anyways, but then again I'm one who probes the most obvious males just incase.

If you do make it up to the meeting most likely I will be there, I wouldnt mind probing them for you.
 
I'll try to get a good tail picture of all the corns tomorrow and post them here. I've been going by the tails to guess what they are, but I'd sure like "second opinions." And then I'll take them down to the MN Herp Society meeting to learn the probing and let everybody know if we were right or not.

Thanks.
