Ok, I'm no expert on this but I think male judging by the length of the vent. Does it have a line of (bumps) along the back legs just away from the vent?

i can't really see anything i would call a pore, but i'm going off the pics in Darren Greens' book which doesn't show them well. most of the rest of what i've been told about sexing is comparison which i don't have

I'm not sure at what age the pores become prominent, but yeah I was going by the book as well. Maybe one of the more experianced breeders here can help.


Cheers,


Al.

yes, they are that bad,

you have to bend his tail over towards his back more, like the second pic,

the best i can say is it looks like a f/m, but those pics it's almost imposible to tell,

the fact that you can't feel any pores or little lumps under his legs, starting from inside towards his feet, that says f/m, but i'm not saying it's defenant, just a wild guess,

yeah like ponybug said hard to definetly see from them pics (more tail bend). I would say possible girl from the looks of what I can see on that. If when u bend his tail back towards his head you see one larger lump near the vent it's a girl, if it's a dint with two smaller bumps on the side, but better pick would be good

No worries,
here are some links with pictures I found on the internet that will help you to determine if you haven't seen them already: you'll see what I mean by the lumps and no what to photograph.

Male & Female both have pre-anal & femoral pores...........male has larger on inner thigh & female smaller.
No not easy to tell ...especially if you only have one!.....also depends on size not always age,but thats no help!
Either way yours looks really healthy...Q' for you; does juvie ever go black on beard, if so ...if goes black covering total beard, including bottom lip....male / females can go black but 85% of the time they have imaginary line the black doesnt go past on their beard...& it doesnt meet chin or touch lips.
Hope thats not too confusing....!
PS; i agree with JasonL...........looks female to me
Try laying juvie on a photo copier (bottom half only) then enlarge the print to what you need
Good results.....& wont peave dragon off!
