cant really see in the picture best way is to look for the bulge at the base of the tail tells u hes a boy

 

[Eeyore]

what do you mean by "bulge" ? examples. sorry i know the pix are a little fuzzy, for some reason my camera wont take good close ups of them.

 

[brandychams]

the base of males tales are thicker at the base to hold thier "package"

Here are some characteristics that are generally used to tell the sex of bearded pygmies.

Male:
Slimmer Bodies than Females
Longer tails
Looks as if they have a miniature mountain range on their back


Female:
Larger more rounded bodies
Shorter tails
Rounder back

Me too, unless both pics are of the same pyg. But definitely male imo. Here's the link brandychams was talking about with pics of a really great pygmy tank. They like lots of plants and lots of small highways for their tiny feet. Believe it or not, the more stuff you have in there the more you'll probably see them because they'll feel safe enough to crawl around and be more visible instead of feeling exposed and wanting to hide.

Just wondering where did you get your pygmies? And are the WC or CB?

 

[Eeyore]

Thanks for all of the help- The pics are of the two that i am 90% sure are my boys, as one of them had the other in a choke hold and I've heard that males fight. My "Naughty Britches" (his name now) is now in his own tank. That link was a lot of help, thank you. I got my pygmies from a local pet shop and I honestly don't know if they are wc or cb. I went to the store looking for a crested gecko and saw them...me and my mom have always wanted chameleons... so they came home with us!!

Better pictures... the one on my hand is the one i am 90% sure is a gal, the brow piggie is the one i'm kind of 50/50 on... help people any ideas??

I'm not that experienced with them, but from all the research I did before I got mine (a LOT lol) I'd say both females.

 

[Tazjunky]
