    My guess is female but I honestly don't know. You're better off taking em somewhere like a breeder, vet, or reptile show to have em probed. It's kinda the only sure-fire way unless you see the hemis. Some males have remarkable control to hold them in.

    Looks to be a female, but like Sparta said, take it to someone to be probed. Someone that has Experience, males are pretty good at hiding the penes when they are over a couple hundred grams....

    Im going to say female... as much as you have exposed you should see peins... How big is the animal..... if over 400 grams with the time of year if it is a male you should be getting sperm plugs when you pop weather you see peins or not.... just my oppenion

    Re: Need help sexing my Bp

    The problem with popping picture like those you never know whether or not the person is doing it right.

    I am going to say you probably have a male and do not pop him properly (could be wrong but that would be my guess)

    Usually mistakes are the other way around you buy a female and it's a male.

    If you are new to this I assume you are new to popping too therefore you might not be positioning your fingers properly and might not apply enough pressure.

    The best is to have your BP double checked by someone experienced in popping.
