My 2 BT's are pretty much adult size but i don't know the sex of them. I have read that you can tell by the eye colour. They have different coloured eyes.
Anyway, one of my blue tongues has seemed to become larger. Quite noticably comapired to the other.
Just wondering if there are any ways to tell if it is gravid.
thanks

saikrett as a breeder of BTs for many years your best bet is to feed her well and when she starts to bully the male remove the male as to tell if you have a male or female males have a large head where females have a lot smaller heads if they are male and female you will notice the difference straight away.
if you have any more questions PM me

would it be better to bring her inside just incase?
i could imagine how hard it would be finding a dozen babies in lizard land before the birds do.

Below is a pic of a pair of our blue tongues. The female is gravid, and on the right. Quality sucks, but it gives you an idea.

Going by the dates which they bred last, it should be sometime within the next couple of weeks  |

Yeah, they give birth in late summer.
Good luck Saikrett.

If there are two males in an enclosure together, will one dominate the other, ultimately becoming a lot bigger?

no offence sxereturn, but i hope your wrong. Although i have heard that before.
Would the size of the cage matter, it is a very large cage.

I was actually asking because I own two BT's that were sold to me as a M/F pair, but I don't think they are.
