Sexing

[ThEmAdHaTtEr]

Hey all, my Leo Fredrawdico might be a girl! The man at the petstore said he was a boy, and he shows the lump in his tail like a boy (the lump is huge). But I see no pre anal pores when I look. I know hes mature because hes really big. Can someone post pics of the underside of their male or female leos? Thanks all, I'll try to get a pic as well.

I'm pretty sure there's a good pic under leo care sheets in
king snake . com (no spaces in address)

Cheers,
Scott

question..... why won't it let me link the site?

Well guys, looks like Fredrawdico's a female..:( . Im pretty sure I have propperly sexed *her and have put her in her new tank (should have pics up soon). This sucks because the herp show is the 24th and I wanted to get a Rainwater male for her and if I put them together they might breed, if shes too young for this she could die from being too small. :(. Thanks a lot though Scott. Maybe I should just get another female? Would they fight? Thanks guys.

I had the same problem with Murtle. I thought she was a boy because she has very pronounced bulges but no pores. I'm pretty sure she is a hot female, which might explain the development of bulges.

lol, hopefully the male I get thinks so..

You can't house them together immediately anyways due to quarantine procedures. It is very important that this is followed. It's best to quarantine IMHO for 3 months. Please keep this in mind.
