Thanks in advance
Ian

Anymore ideas? Is there anyone on here that is around this area that could do it for me??

I have rang heaps of people and they give me the number of someone who can do it but then when i ring them they say....No i dont do it but i'll give you the number of someone who can.....then it starts again lol

you can tell what sex it is by there shedded skin take a look at the vent area , if its a female there will be hole in the skin ,but if its a male you will be able to see 2 pockets [ sheaths ] where the hemipenis fit into. looks like 2 sleeves coming out of the skin. hope that helps deano

I was reading on an American site the other day (cant remember which one) but it stated that they are actually not shed skin from the hemipenis, but dried sperm plugs, if that is true it would not work for hatchies.
