Boy 8]

 

[m_beardie]

great! you sure?

 

[jinin]

Ill confirm it, what species is it? Smooth Knob-Tailed?
Males are bigger than females. The males vent is also much larger, therfore to me that looks like a male; due to vent size, females have a very skinny vent leading to the tail but males are thicker and bulge out more.
If you want to be 100% sure see a vet.

Yer im pretty sure thats a male. What species is he?

 

[m_beardie]

beardie pics

ok so here is my beardie always thought it was a boy (just a guess) so yeah. and how much do you think he/she has to grow?

jinin, mate I've never known an adult male smooth knob tail to be larger than a female, infact its the other way around with the average female being almost double the males size. m_beardie it does appear from the pic to be indeed male. as for the beardie a few better pics might be more helpful.

 

[m_beardie]

okay i will try and get some better ones tomorrow.

 

[Beardieboy]

Take a photo of the beardie from behind holding the tail up at a 90 degree angle (gently of course) to sex it most easily

 

[m_beardie]

ok thats cool. i can't be bothered going up stairs and taking a photo (he's sleeping anyway) so i will put some up tomorrow. thanks anyway!

 

[GeckoJosh]

Male has 2 lumps female has 1

 

[m_beardie]

that's wierd but he is about 20 months old. how old until they are fully grown?

 

[GeckoJosh]

Should be full grown or at least pretty close
Just do what the previous post said and put him on a table and grab his tail and lift it 90 degrees and u should be able to tell for yourself
if not post a pic although he does look male

 

[AsherNicholls]

imo your beardies a female, as it seems that she has a narrow,tight cloaca and small femoral pores whereas a male has a wide,loose cloaca and large femoral pores! but it is a little hard to see from those pics!
