Insect Direct Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 spike has some nice colour for a youngin. very hard to sex blue tongues. once mature the males drop sperm plugs (looks like snot) every now and then, when going toilet or just excited lol. otherwise just have to wait until they try mate and see what happens.

phoenix44 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 See I would have guessed female on the left, male on the right. Something to do with the width of the base of the tail. Not sure if that is a tried and tested method as opposed to one that occasionally gets it right. Here is Cobalt and Phoenix naawww... you shouldn't have :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Phoenix should be flattered :lol: Yeah id say same thing about sex Phoenix. But then i had two which looked very similar, the wider one turned out to be male :-? Almost seems to be that any shape/size can be any sex with the skinks.

herperjosh Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Bubbles and squeek pet shop told me some vets can do some ultrasound thing to see what gender they are :-? I don't think that would work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 They can, or an X-Ray as the males have testicles and females have ovaries. Then you can have a simple DNA test done too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
