Morning everyone,
im wondering if there's anyone in Sydney who could sex an 8 month old central netted dragon and a 9 month old spotted python for me?
thanks,
Dave.
 
put up a pic of the netted you can generally tell by the shape and their head and base of tail
 
here's some pics someone gave me when i asked the same question about netteds

thanks for that. the pics are a bit too small and i have crappy vision. do you think you could re-post them a bit bigger? if you cant re-size them, can you point out the differences between the 2 pics?
thanks.
 
male aparently have huge head and thicker tail bases whereas females have thiner tail bases. i can only really tell the diff once i saw two rea ones side by side. either way if you post a pic of yours you'll get an answer once people can see what your talking about
 
Male Dragons also have a small hemipenal rise at the base of the tail. I dont know whether this is a sexing factor in C.nuchalis but I have kept another Ctenophorus (C.decresii) and this was also apparent in them.
