Just filling in my record book and found a little pickle! I bought a male/female pair of geckos a while back which recently i found out the 'pair' were both females, i have written on my record book in the past that they were male and female. So can i just change it on the book to 2 females?
And also when you buy a young reptile and its sex is unknown, can you then change it to male or female once you find out?
Cheers |

Your total animals will remain the same - only the sexes will change...

I wouldn't worry too much about sexes, even the DSE realise that reptiles can be hard to sex. |
