this is my newest addition to my collection. he is 8.5 weeks old. i got him at LLL reptile in oceanside this weekend. I believe he's a male, (i hope) it was kind of hard to distinguish between the males and females. but here he is.

Male or female?

More pics from the side showing the base of the tale will help.

Its really hard to tell at the angles in the pics.

ok. i tried taking a few but hes really fast. so these were the only other ones i took. dont want to stress him out too much.

On my iphone but of looks male to me

When we were choosing for a male, "he" was the only one in there that was kinda darker in color. his bars were black. the others look brown and no bars. Anyways hes been eating like a pig and drinking plenty of water. hopefully he turns out nice.

I've always wanted a nosy be.

looks like you got a female.
at least to me.. you need to get close up shots of the vent/tail area to be really sure, but im putting my money on female.
the bars are never the best way to determine male from female.

my female sambava.
oldest one* i need another new one as she is even bigger now*

a bit younger

few days after i got her.

whats in the vent/tail area that distinguishes them apart? What should i look for? after looking at ur pics, im beginning to think i have a female too!

 

[Sang]

the vent is the poopshoot... and your looking for a fair size buldge in the base of the tale on the male,


it'll be fairly obvious.

here is my male sambava.

you notice his tail is far fatter, after the vent, females tend to just be a tail, the males have a hemipenal buldge that makes the base much fatter. he is about 4 months in this photo.

Looks alot like a female to me. The peach color alone kinda gives it away.

 

[Rastaman]
