Well surprisingly ( or maybe not ) the stores here don't sex them, they are sold as males. We were just going by the usual tell tale signs ( size/weight, head size, tail tip and spurs ) which is making me wonder, but I do realize this is nothing to go by. I returned to the store to ask and was told it could be likely to be female.

The herp vet around here is a while away, which I have no problem getting to in an emergency situation, but haven't traveled out there for sexing. I'm guess I'm just looking for anything that can stop the small one from rubbing and if it could be the case he senses a female then how far apart would it be best to keep them.
