Mellers are not sexable they have no spurs nor other features that identify sex

Well, hold on. For one, an experienced keeper observing interactions in a group of animals could get a good idea. Second, for an experienced keeper or vet, I believe they can be probed to determine sex. Third, hemipenal plug sheds rubbed on branches or recent imports that lay eggs? Fourth, I've heard there are actually physical differences. Everything from the body build around the hips and lower body to something about the occipital lobes shape or a marking or something. Don't know how true the latter is, since I've never kept them, but it comes from people who have actually bred the species. What about length of claws like in many other egg-laying species?

No harm done. At one point, I was told that exact info and was mislead to believe it was with all the species also. The reason I knew the info I had been given about the spurs was wrong was because a Male Panther was my first purchase, and he didn't have spurs. You're not the only one who thought or thinks that. A local pet store owner even asked me why my male panther didn't have spurs on the back of his feet.

There is a book that actually claimed that to differentiate a male meller from a female is by looking underneath the flap behind the neck. Males usually have tons of black dots underneath while female almost have none..... However, i never breed meller before...so i can confirm this.
