Sexing Blue Tongues

Hey Guys.....

I know this is kinda probably one of the stupidest thing to ask but I couldn't find any posts on this topic

I have 2 Eastern Blue Tongues...... The guy who I got them off said they were both boys..... I am a little unsure of this as they are both kept in he same enclosure and they don't fight at all.....

To settle this once and for all can anyone tell me how to sex them ?

1 is bigger than the other but that could be due to age.....

The bigger one pissed on Daniel when he was holding it PMSL !!!!!!!!!

RE: Sexing Blue Tongues

Matt, a male will have a slighly bigger/wider head and thicker tail than the female. If you curve the tail up over the back a little (GENTLY) a male should show two bulges at the base of the tail (hemipenes) whereas female will have one or none. (As far as I know anyway)
Ive noticed these differences in my pair so i think I have one of each.
try here for sexing info...........

there is no real way to tell the different sexes with those pictures. Sexing most skinks is very difficult.

I hear they can be probed, but I have no idea of scale counts.

RE: Head Pics

cant tell, poss of a female at the back in first pic if thats the second head shot but dont think that all males fight. Most easterns will just tolerate each other.
