Boy or Girl?? Help!

[NurseGirl89]

So I purchased my little guy from a PetsMart, and was told that he was a male. His tarsal spur is very hard to find. However, his veil seems pretty high for his age, and as a baby he is turning very pretty colorations of bright green with dark spots and stripes. He deffinately has an attitude, and I am really hoping that I was told the correct gender. I will attempt to be computer-savey and post a picture of him!

id say female too from just looking. need to check the spurs on the back legs.

Yup. Looks female. Unless it has spurs. But it's markings look female to me too.

 

[NurseGirl89]

Oh no! I was hoping otherwise, too bad

having a female veiled requires some slight tweaks to their care when it comes to laying eggs. are you familiar with the care?

 

[NurseGirl89]

I am, unfortunately that is why I wanted the male instead. So I thought I was good to go!

Well post pics of the back of it's back feet just in case.

Those are the best I could get of the back of its feet. The only camera that I have is my phone, and they get blurry if I get much closer. At what age/size do the males start producing their brighter colors?

they fire up as young little ones. at about 3-4 months you can see some brighter spots and yellow/greens. females are beautiful in their own way.

I've had two females before, both have been rescue cases. I've never experianced the juvenile before. I am guessing that this one is roughly 2.5-3 months old. It's hard for me to tell
