Probing question..

[Torin]

As I'm starting to gear up for breeding boas, I figured I would pick up a set of probes at the Hamburg, PA show this weekend.

Is there anybody who will be at the show or is in the Eastern PA, NJ, or Maryland area that would be willing to teach me how to use them?

I understand the basics, and have read some of the online guides, but I understand that it is better if you are taught in person how to do it by somebody experienced with it.

Thanks.

EDIT: Ahh.. 100 posts.

Well, I picked up a set of probes. However, despite what the seller said, I'm not sure they are small enough to safely probe neonates. The ball sizes are (in decimal inches) .075", .100", .125", .150", .175", .185". They aren't exactly those sizes, but within .003" of them.

Can anybody let me know what sizes of BCI they would be appropriate to?

Thanks!

was asking what size probe (say .075") would be appropriate to which size of BCI (say 18" to 24")?



So if the .075" probe was actually appropriate to 24" to 36" BCIs it would be way too large to check out a neonate with. And therefore I would have to get some more in smaller sizes.
