why can't i take pictures like this!

;) I have been practicing photography for quite sometime.. all my phots are done on manual you would laugh if you saw whats taken on auto! I wouldnt even believe its my camera if someone lined up a series of auto shots lol..

An expensive pro camera doesnt hurt either ;) Thank you for the compliment. I use a Canon Rebel XTi, these pics were taken with an 18-55mm lens.

I'm seeing pre-anal pores... methinks he's a boy. :D

I am thinking I see pre anal pores too. I have to second he is a boy:D

But wait... Lets see what the master of sexing cresties has to say first.

Emily where are you??????

would those be the little tiny bulges i see above the base of his tail?

Kristy and lady, i meant no disrespect if you all know how to sex them too when they are young.. I really dont know how and Emily said she *might* be able to tell since hes (funny ive been assuming hallo is a he) only 4mos if i got good pics, i tried!

Those bumps are his hemipenes bulges coming in, I would imagine (and yes, only males have them).

Pre-anal pores are pores on the scales between the legs, right near the vent. They are pretty hard to see... a female's scales will be smooth while a males scales will have little "pits" or pores in them...

Oh no problem, Emily just seems to have a good eye for sexing young cresties. That what I meant by master lol. She accurately sexed one of mine as female that was younger than Hallo I think.

There's a good article on on cresties... if you go to the very bottom of the article, it shows a little better what we talk about when we say pores.

well, it looks like kristy and lynn have pretty much taken care of things here ;), but i'll agree that i do see pre-anal pores so it looks like hallo is a male. great link too lynn!. :gj:
