Sexing baby panther

[chillenword]

Is there a way to tell which sex a baby panther is? I have had great success breeding geckos and usually you have to wait until their 'sacs' bulge to be certain (for crested geckos). Here are some questions I have for breeding

- How long do I have to wait to be able to know for certain the sex of my panther?
- How long can baby panthers be together before I should worry about separating them?
- How long until it is safe to breed the two?
- If I have a "true-blue Nosy Be" (what screameleons.com refers to them as, sorry if there is another name) Should I stick to another true-blue? What are some things to expect if I mix breed (if I even can), any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
- How many healthy little offspring's should I expect?
- What is a reasonable price to ask to sell some (not looking to make millions off of this, just support my hobby.. and give as gifts to friends who can't justify paying over $100 for a reptile).

Thanks!

You can tell by the base of the tail at a young age if you know what you are looking for and if you have more than one to compare.

I always separate them before they are 4 months old (before they are sexually mature).

I don't mate mine until they are about a year old. I like to give them a chance to complete their own growth before putting the demand of fertile eggs on them.

I like to keep my lines pure...mating like morphs together. Some of the morphs don't produce well when mated together...the clutches can be small...the babies weak, etc. in some morph pairings. Some people have even said that some can be like mules...but I don't know this from experience.

As for price, it depends on supply and demand in the area you live/sell them in.

I do not have another one to compare? How long will I have to wait until I can figure out what sex they are?

Post a picture or two of the tail area and people will chime in about the sex.
