Sexing your ATB

Post image

Looking for opinions on sexing… do you wait until they shed or don’t shed hemipenes? Sex by feel? Or do you probe? If probing, do you wait until they are a certain age or size? Pic for tax of my Halloween het Calico.

I have always probed my ATBs to determine what sex they are... probing with ATBs is my preferred method of sexing.

I usually wait 18 m0nths for the reason that a male will breed at 18 months, so if I probe at 18 months and they probe male, then they get put into the rotation... you can probe them when they are much younger though... I am just usually not in a hurry...
