boy or girl?

[ashmanz]

Last night when I tried to check I thought its a boy, but now I am not sure. Thought someone on here might be able to help sex them.
Thanks in advance

I'm guessing a female.

Are those the same dragon ? Looks different, top looks male, but it's not in focus and very dark.

 

[ashmanz]

yea same dragon

Yeah, Im seeing the same thing.

here are some more pics. They are about 7-8 years old, maybe the age makes it harder to tell?

same dragon just 2 different shots, light isn't that great, I have always thought he was a boy, because of the thick tail and triangle head. But after reading some stuff I am not sure

There are 2 elongated bumps under the skin above the vent, making him a him !

 

[ashmanz]

yea the bumps were hard to see at first. Are they generally that hard to see? I looked at the guide on here and the male in the pic looks a lot different than the female one.

Good thing I only guessed. :study:

No prob! Thanks for checking out the thread

No problem. I just got my first beardie in April but I couldn't see any bumps from the first set of pics. Live and learn right. I really need to see an adult female so I can see the difference. I may be wrong but I think only the males have those "dots" along the inside of their legs but I could be wrong considering I haven't seen a female.

The dots on the inside of the legs are femoral pores. Females have them as well. Males' tend to be more pronounced, but this is not always the case. My adult female has huge femoral pores, but she's definitely a girl.

Kalec, thanks so much for that information. I wonder if there's a book on reptile anatomy?
