Probing Snake

[Wench]

Hi...all
i wanna get my spotted probed to find out if it really is a he, or a she.
I live on the north side of brisbane. Does anyone on here probe snakes and lives in the general vacinity?? or know a decent vet up that way that can??

Only just moved to the north side so dont really know....where anything is up there and i dont wanna drive far with jasta in the car again, he wasn't a huge fan of it when we moved house and he let me know this when i tried to feed him.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

there is a good reptile vet at redcliffe i think

forget his name tho

i live near stafford and go to one there

jus wrap him up in a towel/pillow case and put him in a click clack

he'll be right brus!

sorry he or she!

i use those soft zipable esky bags to transport the snakes, throw in a sock filled with rice thats microwaved till its warm and a face washer and they go in voluntarily.

have had one sitting on my desk at work like that fro 8 hours with just a nose poking out and didnt seem stressed at all.

i hope they dont expect me to hold him him and i dont get along when hes hungry. any other day im fine with him now but the 2 days coming up to a feed... hes crazy.

They probably will.. My snakes were already sexed but the vet re did it for free when I went in with the male.. He is a cranky bugger.. While he was getting probed I had to hold him by the head and he didn't like it :lol:

I use clear tubes while I probe nasty snakes...much easier on both the snake and prober.

take him in 2 or 3 days after a feed then,..like once hes digested but before he gets nippy again,...

Agree.

I use Gillian Hudson at Stafford and she is very good. Bit of a drive from Kallangur though.
