Who can tell me if my blue tongue is male of female?

[jinjajoe]

the photo really needs to be square on like mine so that I can see if the tail widens as you move away from the vent (generally a female if not overweight) or a visibly wider tale at the vent opening where the hemipenes are packed away (male)...... your photo is on an angle & remember these differences are subtle so the photo needs to be pretty good....... sorry !!

A sperm plug sighting can give it away! lol

Hey mate, just from looking at your pictures I would say it is a female, I have a few blues myself and have many many of them were I work and can give you a 98.9% chance that this is a female

 

[andy1990]

so would this one be a male?

 

[JasonL]

I'll have $20 on 'female'.

I agree, looks to be a female

 

[andy1990]

which one? there are 2 there now, one is the first post and the second one is on the 2nd page.

I agree, looks to be a female

the 2nd lizard? ? ? ? male ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????



anyone to comment on second photos?

 

[reptile_keeper_luke]

Second one also a female :/
tip? Females have longer bodies, and generally a smaller head
males have shorter bodies and are more robust,

 

[andy1990]

ah dam lol least she only cost me 60 bucks lol me and the pet shop guy were sure it was a male. o well

Mate that animal cannot be accurately sexed from that photo period & I fail to see why someone can do any better than a guess.

The 1st probs is a female...... but the other...... not sure....... I have female blueys with bigger heads than males & males with longer bodies than females.... the only 100% accurate way is detected male sexual organs or lack of. Either visibly or via sperm plugs pulled from the animal or on the floor of an individually housed animal. Unless the animal is really mature & then it can possibly be visibly apparent.

lets have some fun
male or female?????

 

[DeadCricket]

From glancing at the pics, I would hazard a guess that you have a male there. I'm about 50% sure mate.

m,f,f,m,m,f

A few of these tricked me when they were the age in these photos, sexing eastern blueys as they age is an art, one of these i thought was female, the whole time it was growing and i used to watch them alot ended up being a boy. Pm sent Joe

no one else willing to give it a guess???

 

[JasonL]

Id pick the same as Joe, though not convinced with the second last one, bad photo to tell.

 

[Helikaon]

oh so close, we all think alike it seems, except that second one is a bugger and turned out to be male.

now this one i will admit has me a little confused, and probably not good enough photos but whats your opinion on this one jason.

 

[cools2036]

Yep get me on that $200 female

 

[JasonL]

Female

saying that though young animals, esp fast grown ones are really just educated guesses, aged wild animals are so so so much easier to tell.

 

[Helikaon]

i agree its about 3 yrs now, not massive but looks very female to me which is good for me if that is the case
