sexing my juvie?

[Nagini88]

Well after reading the two stickies about size and sexing, I figure my oldest to be about 6 months old. Any idea what sex it might be? i dont really see pores, but I could be wrong, I dont have any adults to compair him to

i can't quite tell from the photos--any way you can get closer/clearer images without the glass/plastic inbetween?

[Nagini88]

I can try, he doesnt like to hold still though XD

Are these any better?

i can't clearly see any pores, but i'm not for sure that they aren't there. look at the area outlined below with a jewelers' loupe or a magnifying glass--that's where the pre-anal pores will be if they are present.

Alright, I'll have to pick one up, I dont have one yet. I ddint see any oddity in the scales down there but I'll double check. I was just wondering since the guide said males could be sexed 3-6 months where females are 6-8 or something

[mlededee]

it is possible to sex males and females at 3-4 months of age, it's just a lot easier (for me at least) to do it in person, with a loupe.

lol yeah, I wish I knew someone in the area that was a breeder or knew how to sex them. I have 6 babies along with that one(not in the same cage of course) that are almost 3 months
