So a yearling? I'd be saying male but if you aren't a confident prober with carpets and it is a hatchling (i always found them tricky) there is a possibility that you have pushed through into the flesh.

Then i guess you have your answer

If you get different depth on one side and the other, there is something wrong with the probing technique or the snake is not relaxed enough or it's a male the there is a blockage on one side. It's best to probe snakes after slough.
