Male or Female? Also color question

[Ashpd2006]

Hey everyone

I have 2 new baby beardies. The one came from a breeder and he guaranteed that Peach is in fact a girl. The other one came from Petsmart and of course they had no clue what Mario is. He/She is a Leatherback, but as far as color goes, I have no clue on that either. What do ya'll think?

This is Mario

This is Mario's goods

This is another shot of Mario

And here is Peach

You really can't tell at such a young age. I can't at least. Btw, how did a PetSmart end up with a leatherback? This is an article on sexing for when he gets older. http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/sexing/

Nice pics and dragons. How old is your leatherback? i just got a leatherback too from petsmart hes about a month old

 

[Ashpd2006]

Yeah, I thought it might be too early to tell the sex, the breeder I bought Peach from said I could bring Mario up to the monthly reptile show and he could sex him/her for me. I just don't want to stress em out with a long car ride. I honestly don't know how petsMart ended up with Leatherbacks, of course they refer to them as "fancy", the girl working there wasn't sure how old the babies were....so I really have no clue on age, I. Guessing around a month or so, maybe 6 weeks.

Did they charge any extra for the leatherbacks?

Yes, they were having a 50% off sale. The "normals" were $29.99. I paid $44.99 for Mario.

I could almost swear it looks like Mario is trying to form the 2 bumps for a male.

 

[Ashpd2006]

That's kind of what I thought, but his bumps are below the vent, do they move up over time?

Good question and I wish I had an answer :?

The bumps under the vent are irrelevant, they aren't the bumps you're looking for, just a different part of the anatomy. But if you hold the baby like you did , with the tail up, and twist it ever so gently and slightly to the side, you may see more clearly if there are 2 little " stick -like bumps" right above the vent.
