Pygmy Mulga Monitor Help??

[BigRed]

Hi all,

I recently picked up some 3 month old Pygmy Mulga Monitors.
They are amazing, always exploring their enclosure from top to bottom.

Does anyone know how to sex them?

Can they be sexed at this age or do i need to wait til they are 12 months old?

Cheers

If I were you I wouldn't even think of trying to probe them, risky business.

Thanx Sinners that sounds like the best way to go.

Does anyone know what type of light/torch produces the best results for this method?

once they start growing a bit,i find the males get bigger and solider than females,even at a young age

These guys are very easy to sex by their spurs. It might only become obvious after another 3 months though.
