Sex My Baby Sulcata for Me Please Danny!!!!

[Marty333]

My baby Sulcata is only 3 months old and I know its almost impossible to guess their sex at that age but Im just wondering what your opinion might be.

 

[DeanS]

Way too young, but heading towards male at this point...try again in about 6 months to a year!

 

[Maggie Cummings]

He is cute as hell but even Danny couldn't sex him correctly for 5 or 6 more years. He needs to be a bunch bigger, why not just think of him as him because female Sulcata are very rare to come across...

 

[Kristina]

My opinion is that it is a baby Sulcata!

Probably male, just based on percentages.

 

[Yvonne G]

My guess is male too.

 

[egyptiandan]

Like people have said definately to young to be positive, but it's looking like a female to me.

Danny

 

[Marty333]

I was wondering what makes you think its a female?

 

[egyptiandan]

I ignore tails at that size. It's the seam between the anal scute and femoral scute. From the center line of the plastron the seam is straight than takes a dip down than straight. This is what females tend to look like. Males are usually a straight line with no dip.

Ohhh very interesting!!! Thank you for the lesson!! You are kind of making me excited if its a girl because they are hard to come across but right now I guess I'll keep him with his boy name chevy but if it turns out to be a girl its either Porsche or Audi!!!

All right everybody...line forms to the right!

 

[Kristina]

I was here before you, Dean. Back up buddy

 

[onarock]

Right on Egyptiandan. Also, sometimes at a real young age males will carry their tails to the side much like adults

 

[egyptiandan]

I will do this more often Hopefully the line won't get to long
