Sexing Blue Tongues

[mblissett]

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 !!!!!!!!!

westhamsc..... What do you need in a pic to be able to tell ?

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.

Looks like two males to me mate, but I can't be sure from those pics.

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.
