Dragon sex change??

[DragonsInKansas]

Okay, well that got you to open it, hehe. Okay so I have a dragon that i'm having a hard time sexing. I know that on breeder sites they often say that "all females are sold as probable females" Is this because if easier for a "boy" to look like a "girl" when they're young or is it because people tend to get more upset about finding out their girl is a boy instead of finding out their boy is a girl, from a breeding stand point.

My girlfriend has these grand breeding plans :roll: And says that we can't have any more boys.....and it's looking like my new baby girl might be a new baby boy.....and she says she/he has to go if she's a he.

Just a suggestion, if you buy an older juvie, they can be sexed 100% accurate.
Just a thought

Oh, i'm loaded on beardies (that's the problem) This one was a hypo pastel that the breeder at the reptile show gave us for free because we bought another dragon.

don't worry. I'll trade ya a gal for your guy if it comes to that. Mine has fantastic genetics. It's a PetsmartxPetco 100%Het for Petland!!!
You don't get any better than that! lol (obviously we got Mushu from a corporate petstore and have no clue what her genetics are lol, but she's pretty! hehe

Well my tranny baby is a very pretty Hypo pastel. And i'm pretty sure petstore kid or not, you aren't going to be willing to give yours up. I have 2 petland kids myself, so I know how it goes.

I would be murdered in my sleep if I tried to give Mushu away! She's the one Jamie called me from the Petstore all excited saying I just had to "come see her, cause she's sooooo pretty and she just hopped right onto my hand!"

 

[DragonsInKansas]

Haha, yea I don't want to face that wrath. Plus your kidding yourself if you think she'd wait til you were alseep to kill you.

I just really hope that my girl stays a girl :?

Well, if they all end up being boys just tell your girlfriend that you can start a stud service. All of the fun and none of the responsibility of feeding all those poopers. If they have good bloodlines you can charge a fee and take the pick of the clutch, just like in dog breeding. :wink:

I found a few of my girls at about 2-3 months old when they're in the 8 to 10 inch range can start to look like boys because they get a dimple in the middle behind the lump as they gain weight. Then as they grow out a little more they look like girls again. When boys are at 4-6 weeks and they get their little bumps, it become easy and obvious at that point, that's how they know for sure when its a boy. Girls are hard to tell unless you have a boy the same size to compare side by side, then you're like "oh" and see the difference. I'm sure most of that made no sense at all.

Belle on her way for a second opinion on her "sex change" So it's looking like I was jumping the gun, she is still a she..........but we'll see
