    Gender

    I know theres no definite way to tell their gender unless u pop or probe them but based on the shape and length of the tail, what would u say she (I've been calling her she) is?

    Re: Gender

    With the tail being curved it is a little harder to tell. My first guess would be probable male.

    I'd agree, likely male, just from that view.

    Pop to make sure (DONīT DO IT WITHOUT PRIOR RESEARCH HOW!) but it looks like a male because of the long tail from the vent.

    I've done alot of research and have attempted it but not convinced I did it right (I know u arent supposed to put alot of pressure but idk how much is needed exactly) So I was pretty gentle.

    LOL, I'm going to buck the trend and say female. But really, the best way to know for sure is a genetic test from a shed skin. It's a newer option, not super expensive and is more accurate than even experienced people can be with manual sexing techniques.

    Aw, sorry! As far as I know, that is the only one that does it. I will look some too and see if any others exist.
