I'm terrible at sexing pygmies. When I had an unequivocal 1.2, I was never able to convince myself that I could detect any real difference in tail length. Both of my females died last summer. The local pet store (a good store, with proper husbandry and a solid, knowledgeable reptile department) has had a female brev for sale for some time, and I brought her home today. However - I'm beginning to really doubt "she's" female.
When I put her in the EcoTerra, my male started marching her way. The new one put on an array of bold stripes and yellow eye turrets. Male stopped about a foot away. Both ate a couple bugs. Male turned around and walked away. New one pursued after a couple minutes. Male took up what looks like a defensive posture - inflated, green turrets, the same array of longitudinal stripes as the new one. They've now been displaying at each other for about half an hour, from a distance of 5-6 inches.
My only internet at home is through my phone, so the best I can offer is a phone photo of the new one. Is there any chance this animal is female? Is the photo altogether too lousy to tell?
